Product Description
Stimulating read that can be recommended for residents and students. All physicians need to learn to diagnose and manage head pain. However, there are many causes of headache: some are secondary to other conditions; others are disorders in themselves. These factors often make differential diagnosis and treatment a challenge. This didactic atlas approaches the problem of migraine and other headaches from a visual perspective. The contents cover the history of migraine and headache, their epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. While the central emphasis is on migraine, all types of headache are addressed. The book includes some classic illustrations from historical texts as well as modern images that illustrate the disorders and current thinking.
Chronic head and face pain may be either a result of numerous disorders or a symptom of a more ominous secondary cause. Correct diagnosis is essential for proper treatment.
To assist the clinician, we include the history of headache, its epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment. We address migraine, tension-type, and cluster headache, in addition to the rare or more unusual primary and secondary headache disorders. We have tried to include classic images from other texts, as well as new images that illustrate the disorders and reflect the most current thinking. This compilation of slides, images, graphs, paintings, and drawings has been obtained from physicians from all over the world.
