Abstract
There is a high prevalence of headache disorders in children and adolescents. Headache in pediatric population is substantially underdiagnosed and undertreated. The recently revised International Headache Society criteria are a step in the right direction to improve our diagnostic accuracy. The recent increases in evidence-based data in the pediatric headache population will help to outline appropriate management strategies for acute and preventive treatment. In this article, diagnostic and treatment issues related to the pediatric headache patient will be reviewed.Entities:
