International Classification of Headache Disorders recognizes primary and secondary type of headache. The attention turns to the problematics

of secondary headache in this chapter. Secondary type of headache has its obvious causation. It can be one of the symptoms

of major life threatening conditions as cerebrovascular disease, especially subarachnoidal and intracerebral haemorrhage, carotid dissection

and venous thrombosis, brain tumours, neuroinfections and major craniocerebral trauma. It is important to follow “red flags”

that will lead us to the early and correct diagnosis.

Keywords: secondary headache, diagnostics, red flags, treatment
