Diagnostic criteria:

Pain in one or more regions of the head or face fulfilling criteria C and D
Clinical, laboratory and/or imaging evidence of a lesion within the cranial bone known to be, or generally accepted as, a valid cause of headache¹
Pain develops in close temporal relation to and is maximal over the bone lesion
Pain resolves within 3 months after successful treatment of the bone lesion

Most disorders of the skull (eg, congenital abnormalities, fractures, tumours, metastases) are usually not accompanied by headache. Exceptions of importance are osteomyelitis, multiple myeloma and Paget's disease. Headache may also be caused by lesions of the mastoid, and by petrositis.
