You would like to know whether your daughter may be experiencing headaches caused by an aneurism.

Headaches can be caused if someone is experiencing vision difficulties, sinusitis or may experience another underlying medical condition such as an aneurism. You may consider taking her to the ophthalmologist to check up on her vision. You may also take her to the pediatricion to check up on her sinuses or to make a CT scan of her brain in order to diagnose any aneurisms.


You may consider that if doctors don't diagnose her with any medical condition, your daughter's headaches may just be a call for your attention.

Please notice that I only provide you with medical information. Unfortunately I am not able to diagnose medical conditions online. Please contact her doctor or other healthcare provider such as an ophthalmologist, pediatrician or neurologist for further diagnosis and treatment options.
