Pregnancy Headache Clinical Examination - OSCE Revision - Dr Gill
When it comes to headaches, there is perhaps no clinical consultation more frightening to the medical student or junior doctor than the pregnant lady with a headache!
When it comes to pregnancy headaches, you are not merely looking after your patient, the mother, but also your secondary patient of the unborn fetus
It is vital that we exclude dangerous pathologies such as meningitis, pre-eclampsia and raised intracranial pressure, whilst also helping to narrow down the cause of the pregnancy headache - often migraines, tension headache or cluster headaches
But it is also vital that we keep in mind the rare causes which can cause a headache in pregnancy; subarachnoid haemorrhage, CVT, vasoconstriction and ischaemic CVA

Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.
