My child has headaches, but all MRI and reports are normal. What could be causing them?

Asked by Male, 12 · 2 months ago

Even with normal scans, the majority of kid headaches are caused by migraines, tension headaches, eye strain, dehydration, or stress. They can also be brought on by poor sleep, missing meals, too much screen time, or sinus problems. For accurate diagnosis and prevention, keep track of triggers and speak with a physician or neurologist.

I'm sorry to hear your child is experiencing headaches. Since the MRI and other reports are normal, there are several possible causes for headaches in children that do not show up on imaging:

  • Tension headaches: Often related to stress, anxiety, or muscle strain.
  • Migraines: These can occur even if imaging is normal. Migraines in children may present differently than in adults.
  • Vision problems: Eye strain or uncorrected vision issues can cause headaches.
  • Sinus issues or allergies: These can cause pressure and headaches.
  • Dehydration or poor sleep: Both can trigger headaches.
  • Dietary factors: Certain foods or irregular eating patterns may contribute.
  • Postural issues: Poor posture can lead to muscle tension headaches.

Since your child’s imaging is normal, it’s important to work with a pediatric neurologist or pediatrician to explore these possibilities further. They may recommend keeping a headache diary to track frequency, duration, triggers, and associated symptoms, which can help guide diagnosis and treatment.

Please consult a pediatric neurologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized management plan. If headaches worsen or are accompanied by other symptoms like vision changes, vomiting, or weakness, seek medical attention promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand your child is experiencing headaches despite normal MRI and reports. To better understand the situation, could you please provide your child's age and gender?
