Frequency and structure of perinatal disorders in children with epilepsy

Abstract

for the total samples and a mean age of 10.71 + 1.99 for students with a diagnosis of primary headache disorder. Gender was nearly equally distributed among the total sample (male 47.5% versus female 52.5%) and among students of primary headache disorder (male 51% versus female 49%, P b .20). One-year prevalence of headache was 31.2% with no significant difference among females compared to males (15.3% versus 16%; P b .14). Prevalence of migraine was significantly higher (19.6%) followed by TTH (8.6%), chronic headache (1.3%) and medication-use headache (0.7%) (b0.001). Conclusions Primary headache prevalence is high among primary and middle school students. Migraine was the most prevalent headache. No significant difference was noted among those age group.
