abstract: Headache and facial pain are frequent complaints. The underlying process is most often benign but serious conditions may be present requiring an urgent diagnostic approach. A careful history including psychologic evaluation and a meticulous neurologic examination are essential for an adequate selection of complementary laboratory testing.
