The term cervicogenic headache was introduced by Sjaastad and coworkers in 1983. Although a controversial syndrome, diagnostic criteria and refinements of these criteria were published in 1990 and 1998. Herein we present a brief overview of this syndrome and its anatomic, pathophysiologic and treatment aspects.
