AB In  addition  to  reviewing  each  CT  slice  for  its  anatomical  landmarks,  an  organized  search  should  be  made  for  signs  of  various  disorders  that  can  cause  headache.  These  include  (1)  aneurysmal  SAH,  (2)  an  intracranial  mass  such  as  a  tumor,  abscess,  or  hematoma  (intracerebral  or  subdural),  (3)  arteriovenous  malformation  (AVM),  (4)  cerebral  venous  sinus  thrombosis,  or  (5)  sinusitis  (Table  1).
