Headache due to Vascular Disorders

Abstract

Headache and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) are inextricably linked. Although in some cases headache complicating CVD may be little more than a symptomatic afterthought, in other cases, early recognition of headache's role in the CVD process is critical to effective management. In other words, headaches secondary to CVD span a spectrum, and in this article, we will review that spectrum.
