AbstractPosttraumatic headache is a general term for pain localized in the head or neck, occurring after head trauma and of varied aetiology and pathogenesis. In many cases one only finds a time-dependent relation to trauma, but no causal one. There is no uniform, typical "posttraumatic headache". The headaches are commonly caused by injury to scalp, cervical spine and intracranial structures. A reciprocal influence exists between these functionally disturbed structures and a relation to psychogenic factors, which are essential co-factors. Usually it is difficult to decide whether posttraumatic headaches are exclusively caused by organic or psychogenic factors. Probably both factors are involved to an individually different degree.
