title: [Headache in children].
abstract: In this article the last 30 years of research concerning headaches in children, especially migraine headaches, is reviewed. The article is directed towards epidemiology, identification, classification, pathophysiology and management. Headache is a common medical complaint in children and adolescents, but diagnosis can be difficult, particularly in the very young. Many know far too little about how to recognise a child with headache and how to deal with it.
