Geriatric headaches

A M Rapoport et al. Geriatrics. 1983 May.

Abstract

Headaches, although common occurrences in the elderly, can be the symptoms of a serious problem. Specific headaches found in this population need careful consideration and diagnosis. When the diagnosis is elusive, or the headache is sudden, severe, and incapacitating, a neurologist or neurosurgeon should be consulted.
