title: [Vascular headache and cerebral edema].
abstract: Headache is one of the commonest symptoms in neurology. It can be present among many other somatic illnesses. There are many aetiological factors. Pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown. There is a significant number of patients with headache, especially with vascular headache, (about 15%), and vascular headache associated with cerebrovascular ischaemic stroke. Therefore the new investigations of neurobiochemical and neurophysiological problems are necessary. A group of patients involved in our study with diagnosis of vascular headache was tested. The result of the study (especially neuroradiological results) show that many patients, prevalently young women, had cerebral oedema during the attack of vascular headache.
