Abstract "The first section, Acute Headaches, includes those headaches that we all need to be aware of on a daily basis, particularly in the ER. These headache disorders can present challenges in diagnosis and treatment that are unique to emergency medicine. The second section, Episodic Headaches, is really the purview of office, clinic and consultant practice. This section includes a variety of common, and less common but interesting, primary headache disorders. Precise diagnosis of patients with episodic headaches leads to specific directed care and good outcomes in a large number of patients"--Provided by publisher.
