Abstract:

Aim: To find out the prevalence of headache within the pediatric population attending in a Pediatric Ophthalmic clinic and to evaluate the relation with refractive error and orthoptic problems.

Study design: Prospective observational study.

Method: Clinical data were collected prospectively as all children who attended the clinic with complain of headache. Headache with any ocular pathology and neurological abnormal findings were excluded from this study.

Result: Among 4167 patients, 556 (12.79% of total attendance) were present with complain of headache in pediatric outpatient department from 10th April 2004 to 10th June 2004. Among them male were 326 and female were 230. 219 (39.389%) children had orthoptic problem. 121 (21.762%) had refractive error (77 of them had different types of astigmatism; 15 had myopia; 29 had hypermetropia). Most of them had mild refractive error (± 0.25D to ± 1.25D)). Among all, 23 (4.136%) patients had combine refractive and orthoptic problems. 4 (0.719%) showed manifest squint. 6 had amblyopia. 212 (38.129%) patients suffering from migraine, functional headache or tension headache.

Conclusion: A significant number of pediatric patients suffering from headache due to refractive error and orthoptic problems. So, proper orthoptic examination should be included in the protocol of headache evaluation in pediatric cases. This study will hopefully stimulate future study in this regards.
