A member asked:
Do brain lesions always produce headaches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: not all brain lesions produce headaches although large ones may due to increased intracranial pressure. Also, most headaches are not due to brain lesions, the most common types of headache are migraine and tension headaches which are not caused by brain lesions.
