Resumen
Con el objetivo de facilitar el diagnóstico diferencial de la queja de cefalea después de los 65 años de edad, se llevó a cabo una revisión de la literatura con respecto a las cefaleas primarias y secundarias de acuerdo a la Clasificación de la Sociedad Internacional de Cefaleas, seleccionándose las variedades más frecuentes en las personas mayores, describiéndose su condición aguda o crónica, su frecuencia, características y particularidades, a manera de facilitar un diagnóstico presuntivo que oriente una intervención específica. Las cefaleas primarias más frecuentes en el adulto mayor son la cefalea tensional y la migraña. Entre las cefaleas secundarias más frecuentes se encuentran la cefalea cervicogénica, la cefalea por abuso de analgésicos, dolor craneal y las diferentes causas de cefaleas metabólicas. Se mencionan los estudios básicos y paraclínicos, así como los criterios para estudio por neuroimagen y las señales de alerta para cefaleas secundarias.
Abstract
A literature review was conducted to facilitate the differential diagnosis of headaches in individuals over the age of 65. The review focused on primary and secondary headaches according to the International Headache Society Classification, highlighting the most common types among older individuals. The review described the acute or chronic nature, frequency, characteristics, and specific features of these headaches to aid in making a presumptive diagnosis and guide appropriate interventions. The most common primary headaches in older adults are tension-type headache and migraine. Among the secondary headaches, the most frequent ones include cervicogenic headache, medication-overuse headache, cranial pain, and various metabolic causes of headaches. The review also mentioned basic and paraclinical studies, criteria for neuroimaging, and warning signs for secondary headaches.
