Abstract

Headache can present as an accompanying symptom of major cerebrovascular disease. Such a headache could have a sudden onset reminiscent of a thunderclap or may progress gradually over several days. A thunderclap headache (TCH) can be a sign of a life-threatening condition, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral venous thrombosis, and cervicocephalic arterial dissection. The presence of associated neurological deficits such as cognitive, sensory, or motor changes can guide to the diagnosis of cerebral vascular events. Imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of these vascular disorders. This chapter discusses the prevalence and characteristics of headaches that accompany cerebrovascular disorders, diagnostic methods, and their specific treatments. A section at the end of the chapter deals the subject of TCHs. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
