Abstract
At a recent meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, neurologists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY and the Montefiore Headache unit reported that aspartame was a headache precipitating factor in 8.2% of 171 patients evaluated consecutively.
Highlights
The occurrence and persistence of headache after closed head injury was investigated in 129 children, 70 boys and 59 girls, during a follow-up period, average 5.9 yrs., in the Depts of Neuropsychology and Child Neurology, State University Hospital, P.O
The percentage of children (25%) suffering from headache at an extended period after closed head injury in this study is similar to that previously reported by others (Rothner AD, Headache 1978; 18:169)

Summary

Box 9600, 2300 RC Leiden, The Netherlands. Complaints of headache occurred in 34 children (29%), especially in girls and in those with serious EEG abnormalities. Complaints of headache after hospitalization for closed head injury did not appear to be accident related. Headache after closed head injury in children. The percentage of children (25%) suffering from headache at an extended period after closed head injury in this study is similar to that previously reported by others (Rothner AD, Headache 1978; 18:169).
