Özet

Aim: It is of great importance to differentiate the primary or secondary causes of headaches in the intensity of emergency services. The underlying causes of secondary headaches can be caused by neurological causes and may have a mortal course. In this study, it was aimed to determine red flags in neuroimaging for life-threatening secondary causes of patients who applied to the emergency department with headache complaints and underwent brain imaging.
