AB  - Primary  headaches,  including  migraine  headaches  and  tension-type  headaches,  are  common  during  childhood,  often  occur  together  in  an  individual,  and  are  most  frequently  reported  during  adolescence.  The  reported  prevalence  for  migraine  headache  is  estimated  at  3%  for  ages  3  to  7  years  (males  >  females),  4%  to  11%  for  7  to  11  years  (males  =  females),  and  8%  to  23%  for  11  to  greater  than  15  years  (females  >  males).1  Children  less  than  3  years  of  age  may  have  a  forme  fruste  of  migraine  which  presents  as  periodic  irritability,  head-banging  or  holding,  change  in  sleep  and  behavioral  patterns,  abdominal  pain,  recurrent  vomiting,  and  pallor.  Reports  of  nonspecific  headache  pain  are  even  more  common.  By  age  5  years,  20%  of  children  report  experiencing  a  headache,  40%  by  age  7  years,  and  100%  by  age  16  years.2  Most  of  these  episodes  are  benign.  However,  recurrent  headaches  may  present  with  severe  pain,  decreased  academic  performance  and  school  absence,  anxiety,  depressed  mood,  family  disruption,  and  high  health  care  costs.
