Cephalalgia, 09/11/09
Rocha–Filho PAS et al. – The incidence of PCH according to the International Headache Society diagnostic criteria was 40%. Age, sex, type of surgery, temporomandibular disorder, vasospasm, presence and type of previous headaches, and subarachnoid haemorrhage were not related to headache classification. There were no differences in the quality of life, headache frequency and characteristics or pain intensity between patients with headache that fulfilled or not PCH criteria. The authors proposed a revision of the diagnostic criteria for PCH, extending the headache outset after surgery from 7 to 30 days, and including the presence of headaches after surgery in patients with no past history of headaches, or an increase in headache frequency during the first 30 days of the postsurgical period followed by a decrease over time. Using these criteria the authors would classify 65% of their patients as having PCH.
