title: Headache as a symptom of organic diseases.
abstract: A review of the literature dealing with patients presenting with headache caused by underlying disease reinforces the classic teaching that these headaches are hardly ever completely typical of benign syndromes such as migraine. More often than not they are accompanied by features, such as other symptoms or physical abnormalities, that suggest, to the careful clinician, the suspicion of a lesion and the need for investigation.
