Abstract
Background: Headache is one of the most common medical complaints. However only about 10% of patients with headache were due to secondary causes Methods: Observational study was performed in all the 100 patients who underwent CT scan of head. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS programme. Results: 74% of the CT scans were absolutely normal. Out of 100 patients only 11(11%) showed any form of brain parenchymal pathology. Other associated findings were sinusitis in 12(12%), bone related in 1(1.00%), and mastoiditis in 2(2.00%) patients. Conclusion: CT scan of brain is rarely of help in the diagnosis of headache if it is not associated with other symptoms and or signs of an intracranial pathology.
