Il existe des règles simples à respecter pour le diagnostic et la prise en charge des céphalées, des signes d'alarme qui doivent inciter le généraliste à prendre un avis spécialisé ou à diriger son patient vers un service d'urgences. Cet ouvrage est composé de cinq parties : • généralités (interrogatoire et examen, épidémiologie et impact, mécanismes, aspects génétiques, psychopathologie) ; • clinique et traitement de la migraine ; • céphalées primaires autres que la migraine ; • céphalées secondaires ; • situations particulières : céphalées en « coup de tonnerre », urgences, enfant, femme enceinte et sujet âgé.
