Estudio con imágenes de la cefalea
Abstract
Headache is a frecuently symptom in emergency departments and outpatient. For this reason it is important to know how to diagnose it to make a good patient management. Diagnostic imaging depends basically on the clinical classification of headache, primary when it comes to a migraine or tension-type headache, in which case it is not necessary to use neuroimaging; Secondary, when there are signs and symptoms warning "red flags”, you should do a good neurological examination and neuroimaging request. The CT is the imaging modality of choice for its practicality and low costs in the emergency department or initial study of secondary headache, primarily for the diagnosis of bleeding. MRI is more sensitive than CT in detecting tumors, vascular diseases, ischemic heart disease, among others. [Ortiz, C. Imaginological study of cephalea. MedUNAB 2012; 15(1):38-45].
