Master the comprehensive evaluation of a patient presenting with recurrent headache using this detailed i-Human case study PDF (Ava Cruz).

The case covers differential diagnoses (tension-type headache vs. migraine vs. medication overuse headache vs. intracranial pathology), physical examination maneuvers (fundoscopic exam for papilledema, neurologic exam, bruising assessment, nuchal rigidity testing), diagnostic workup considerations, and IPV screening and safety planning. Includes history-taking strategy, required vs. missed exam elements, and clinical reasoning.
