    • French
    La céphalée est l'un des symptômes les plus fréquents de la pratique médicale courante. Tout médecin peut y être confronté dans le cadre de l'urgence ou d'une consultation programmée. Les causes des céphalées sont nombreuses, variées et correspondent à des affections de gravité très différente, de la plus banale à la plus sévère pouvant engager le pronostic vital. 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. Cette nouvelle édition a été entièrement mise à jour et les critères diagnostiques de la plus récente classification internationale des céphalées (version 3 bêta, 2013) servent de fil conducteur tout au long du livre.
