Abstract

A 2004 update of the International Headache Society classification refined the diagnostic criteria for headaches, the most frequent of which remain tension headaches and migraines. Diagnosis remains essentially clinical, while complementary neuroimaging tests are done on an on-request basis for newly appearing headaches or for changes in migraine episodes. Given the topographies of migraines and tension headaches, when their characteristics are atypical, the otolaryngological hypothesis is often suggested. If in doubt, a test treatment with triptans can be attempted.
