הוספת תג | סיכום: | Cephalea is one of the main causes of consultation in the world, with a higher prevalence of 90%, therefore its adequate identification through a detailed medical history and physical examination is fundamental. Neuroimaging studies such as the skull computerized axial tomography are recommended in those patients in whom it is desired to rule out a secondary cause of the cephalea, atypical cephalea, of the first time or with worsening of the same, as well as when there are abnormalities in physical examination, among others. This study aims to verify the indiscriminate use of CT in patients with primary cephalea treated at the Hospital "Manuel Ygnacio Monteros" from the city of Loja, identifying the most frequent types of cephalea according to gender and age group, determine the result of tomography according to gender and age group and its relationship with age and gender of patients with inclusive criteria. This study is descriptive, prospective and observational, and it used a sample of 97 patients with primary cephalea. It was determined that the unspecified cephalea is the most frequent cause of Computed Axial Tomography in the female gender with 32.99% (n = 32), unlike the male gender in which it was requested, only 16.49 (n = 16). The age group of 21-50 years old 34.02% (n = 33) was the group with the highest frequency of CT. The result of Computed Axial Tomography is normal in both the female gender (64.95% (n = 63), and in the male gender (n = 26) 26,80%, similarly occurred with the age group of 15 to 20 23.71% (n = 23) and from 21 to 50 years old 68.04% (n = 66) in whom the result of the computed tomography requested by an unspecified headache was normal. Therefore, it was determined that there is an indiscriminate use of computed tomography in patients with primary cephalea. Keywords: Primary cephalea, computed tomography. |
