Clinical Analysis of Headache

ABSTRACT

Since opening of the Yeungnam University Hospital in May 1983 till September 1983, total 411 headache patients were treated at the Neurology clinic. It was found that considerable number of the cases had latent epilepsy and brain atrophy as the causes of the headache. In about 40% of the cases, EEG showed more than moderate abnormalities. These cases should not be sent to psychiatry directly as they are not indicated for surgery, but should be treated at neurology clinic primarily.
