[Headache concurrent with the onset of ischemic stroke].
The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of headache in acute ischaemic stroke and its association with type, aetiology and localization of stroke. 342 patients with stroke were analysed. Their average age was 70.8 +/- 13.1. Headache was observed in 17.8% stroke patients. There was no correlation between headache and size of ischaemic lesion in CT. Headache was observed in 43.1% of patients with small foci localized in deep structure, and in 33.3% of large cortical-subcortical foci. The analysis between the frequency of headache and type of stroke according OCSP classification revealed that headache occurred statistically significant more frequent in POCI.
