title: Endocrine aspects of headaches in children and adolescents.
abstract: Headaches due to endocrine diseases in childhood are rare, but any child with chronic headaches should be given serious consideration. The most serious etiology is a tumor of the hypothalamic-pituitary region. Headaches can also occur as premenstrual migraine or as water retention due to glucocorticoid or Growth Hormone (GH) overdosage.
