Introduction

In order to make this classification exhaustive there is, after the entries for many disorders, a subcategory for conditions that fulfil all but one criterion for that disorder. Still there may be headaches that cannot fit into any of the existing chapters because they are being described for the first time, or because there simply is not enough information available. This chapter is intended for these types or subtypes of headaches.
