Abstract

We prospectively assessed the relative specificity of the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria in 30 children referred to a pediatric neurologist. An important cause of headache, including raised intracranial pressure with slit ventricle syndrome, would have been missed in 4 children if one had relied on IHS criteria alone. Specific revisions have been proposed to minimize misclassification and further enhance the relevance of the IHS document for children.
