Radiological Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis of Headache

Abstract: Headache is very common and affects almost everyone at some point. It is one of the most common disorders that leads patients to see their physician. All different forms have the nociception via trigeminal nerve fibers in common. Beside the clinical course headaches are classified as either primary or secondary, with the latter having an identifiable structural or biochemical cause. Imaging has a low diagnostic yield in primary headache but play an important role in the differential diagnosis of secondary form… Show more

“…In the case of tumors with exophytic growth, a tumor of the pineal gland should be included in the differential diagnosis. Pineal gland cysts [22], which are a common incidental finding in the daily diagnostic routine [30], are significantly more common. These are non-neoplastic glial cysts of the pineal region.…”

“…SAB is usually caused by rupture of an aneurysm of the arteries supplying the brain and is accompanied by the typical symptoms with abrupt onset of headache. Subarachnoid bleeding appears hyperdense on plain cranial CT in the region of the basal cisterns [30] and hydrocephalus can represent an acute complication of the disease. Moreover, acute occlusive hydrocephalus can occur in SAB due to clots.…”

“…Small pineal cysts are clinically irrelevant (Category I). Larger cysts can compress both the tectal plate and aqueduct, thus leading to headache [18]. No threshold has been defined in the literature; thus in the case of clinical symptoms, a neurosurgical work-up is called for (Category II).…”
