RESUMEN
RESUMEN Dado que la cefalea es un motivo de consulta frecuente a urgencias durante la edad pediátrica, en especial dentro del grupo de los adolescentes, es de vital importancia reconocer su etiología para poder hacer un abordaje más acertado. Por ello, es necesario conocer que la gran mayoría de las veces la cefalea se deberá a una causa primaria (migraña o cefalea de tipo tensión) o secundaria a procesos infecciosos triviales (infecciones respiratorias, urinarias o gastrointestinales) y en número reducido de casos será secundaria a procesos de mayor gravedad, los cuales tendrán que excluirse mediante un buen interrogatorio, exploración física y estudios complementarios para evitar que se ponga en riesgo la integridad del adolescente.
