This review is from: Handbook of Headache (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series) (Paperback)

To me ,a general neurologist dealing very frequently with headache patients , this is comprehensive book regarding all aspects like pathogenesis, symptomatology and treatment, but the material is not beatifully organised and rather seems as though collected and condensed.
