Description
Summary:Abstract In recent decades, cranial and cervical vascular disorders have become major global health concerns, significantly impacting patients, families, and societies. Headache is a prevalent symptom of these vascular diseases and can often be the initial, primary, or sole manifestation. The intricate relationship between headaches and cranial/cervical vascular disorders poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, with the underlying mechanisms remaining largely elusive. Understanding this association is crucial for the early diagnosis, prevention, and intervention of such conditions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical features and potential pathogenesis of headaches attributed to cranial and cervical vascular disorders and provide a reference for disease management and a basis for potential pathological mechanisms.
