Abstract

Post-traumatic headache is a new headache that follows a blunt or open injury to the head or brain. But there has been controversies surrounding the diagnosis of post-traumatic headache. The pathophysio- logy is not well known, either. On the other hand, the revision of IHS(International Headache Society) classification of headache will be scheduled on 2003. So it is helpful to review the clinical features, pathophysiology, treatment, and to preview the proposal for new diagnostic criterior of post-traumatic headache.
