Abstract
We aimed to determine head computed tomography (CT) scan rate in the children presenting with non-traumatic headache who visited an Australian community teaching hospital emergency department. This was a planned substudy of an investigation of the epidemiology of headache in children presenting to the emergency department. A total of 225 children were studied; 6 underwent CT scan (CT scan rate, 2.7%; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-5.7). No intracranial pathology was identified. The rate was much lower than previously reported. The optimal CT scan rate for children presenting with headache remains unclear and is worthy of further research.
