Acute Headache Diagnosis in Pregnant Women
Neurol 85:1024-1030, Robbins, M.S.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among pregnant women receiving inpatient neurologic consultation, more than one-third have secondary headache. Diagnostic vigilance should be heightened in the absence of a headache history and if seizures, hypertension, or fever are present. Attack features may not adequately distinguish primary vs secondary disorders, and low thresholds for neuroimaging and monitoring for preeclampsia are justified.
