摘要：

The aim of the present study was to observe the ability of children aged 7 to 11 in describing their headache during anamnesis. For this purpose, two evaluations of 94 children were performed in individual assessments, done by the same Pediatrician, within a six to eight week interval, without the presence of adults. The characteristics of headache in these children could be properly evaluated during the interviews. There were no remarkable conflicting information between the two interviews. Although the headache of the child is usually described by the accompanying adult during the consultation, childhood headache should really be informed by the patient. In this group of young children (7 to 11 years old), information could be obtained without difficulty since we allowed the child enough time and the use of his (her) own words.
