Post-traumatic HA: is considered a form of secondary headache that occurs after head injury. The IHS criteria states that the onset of the headache must be within two weeks of the head injury. The HA may mimic any of the primary headache disorders such as migraine, TTH or even cluster. After imaging the management depends upon the particular type of headache that is present.
