A bibliographic review of headaches, and particularly of migraine for being the most frequent in children and adolescents, was made. Its classification, clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria were taken into account, making emphasis on the importance of the use of the headache agenda or calendary, in which the patient or his relatives provide data of every crisis of headache, helping to have an early diagnosis and better treatment.
