Resumen
Las cefaleas vasculares secundarias conforman el grupo 6 de la clasificación de la Sociedad Internacional de Cefaleas, las más importantes son la hemorragia subaracnoidea, el infarto cerebral, la trombosis venosa cerebral, la hemorragia intracerebral y el síndrome de Sturge-Weber.
La cefalea puede ser el primer síntoma de una alteración vascular cerebral, por lo cual es importante considerar siempre esa posibilidad cuando llega un paciente con cefalea intensa, para establecer un diagnóstico y un tratamiento oportuno, que puede salvar la vida de los pacientes. Las neuroimágenes son una herramienta de gran ayuda para el diagnóstico de estas enfermedades.
En este artículo se describen las manifestaciones clínicas, la fisiopatología, los métodos de diagnóstico y el tratamiento de estas alteraciones.
