[Headache in ischemic cerebrovascular diseases].

Most of the previous publications investigating the clinical features of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases stated headache as a main symptom. According to our experiences however headache seemed to be a rare symptom accompanying ischemic attacks. The clinical history of 204 cerebrovascular patients treated at the Department of Neurology of Semmelweis Medical University was analysed prospectively and retrospectively with special regard to the frequency of headache appearing as a clinical symptom. Our investigations did not prove causal relationship between ischemic disease and headache.
