Overview
This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions that may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Rhinitis
- Head trauma
- Migraine
- Tension Headache
- Trigeminal autonomic Cephalalgia (Cluster Headache)
- Common cause 2
- Common cause 3
- Common cause 4
- Common cause 5
FIRE: Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation
A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients in need of immediate intervention. The initial rapid evaluation is based on the guidelines:
Complete Diagnostic Approach
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of [[Headache]] according the the [...] guidelines.
Treatment
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of [[disease name]] according the the [...] guidelines.
Do's
- The content in this section is in bullet points.
Don'ts
- Failure to reassess a child with migraine or tension headache when the headache character changes
- Attributing persistent nausea and vomiting to an infective cause in the absence of corroborative findings, eg, contact with similar illness, pyrexia, diarrhoea
- Failure to fully assess vision in a young or uncooperative child
- ▶ Failure of communication between community optometry and primary and secondary care
- Attributing abnormal balance or gait to middle ear disease in the absence of corroborative findings
- Failure to identify swallowing difficulties as the cause of recurrent chest infections or “chestiness”
