Sažetak
Introduction: Headache is one of the most common complain in medical practise and the most often neurological symptom. The aim of our study was to estimate the frequency of abnormal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) findings in patients with non-acute headache without focal neurological abnormalities. Participants, Materials/Methods: The results of the MRI and MRA were retrospectively analyzed. As major abnormalities we took into account tumour, stroke, extraaxial collection, Chiari malformations and vascular pathology (aneurysm and arterial-venous malformation). Results: Two hundred twenty-fivepatients fulfilled the criteria. Out of 225 patients with median age of 37 (18-85) years, 78% of the patients were female and 22% were male.In total we found 8.4% of major abnormalities. On MRI head scan without MRA analysis we found 50.7% of normal finding, 47.1% of minor abnormalities and 2.2% of major abnormalities. On MRA scan we found we found 52.9% of normal finding, 40.9% of minor abnormalities and 6.2% of major abnormalities. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a low but important diagnostic yield of MRI and MRA examination for patients with non-acute headache without focal neurological abnormalities.
