Abstract: | Acute posttraumatic headache is common and can evolve into chronic posttraumatic headache, which is associated with medication overuse and disability. However, there are few studies to guide treatment management of acute posttraumatic headache. We describe an adolescent with acute posttraumatic headache that did not respond to several initial medications but had rapid and sustained improvement in headache and associated migrainous features with subcutaneous sumatriptan. |
