Abstract

Sentinel headache (SH) is considered as a signal of the impending rupture of an aneurysm. However, it is difficult to diagnose whether the headaches of patients are associated with unstable aneurysms. Therefore, there is some doubt about the importance of headaches in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). This study was performed to explore the existence and clinical characteristics of SH associated with aneurysms.
