Introduction: The aim of this study was to screen patients aged ≥65 years admitted to theBaşkent University Hospital Neurology Polyclinic between 2011 and 2013 and classify themaccording to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition.Materials and Method: In total, 175 patients (126 females and 49 males) were screened.First, they were separated into primary and secondary headache groups, and the subgroupheadache types were then defined within these groups according to the InternationalClassification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition; then, the concurrence of accompanyingchronic diseases were examined.Results: In the primary headache group, 21.1% of the patients had migraine, 39.4% hadtension-type headache, and 51% had trigeminal neuralgia; in the secondary headache group,24.2% of the patients had headache attributed to hypertension, 18.2% had headache attributedto temporal arteritis, 18.2% had headache attributed to cervical pathology, and 12.1% hadheadache attributed to intracranial mass.Conclusion: This study was conducted to detect the most commonly seen headachetypes in geriatric population, and the results of this study are important in terms of increasingawareness of the evaluation of both primary and secondary headaches in geriatric patients.Because the study was conducted with a less patient population, it is important in terms ofmore accurately demonstrating the factors constituting the etiology of headache in this patientgroup.

Özet
Giriş: 2011-2013 yılları arasında Başkent Üniversitesi Hastanesi Nöroloji polikliniğine başvuran 65 yaş üstü hasta grubunun taranarak 3. Uluslarası Baş ağrısı Sınıflandırma ölçeğine göre sınıflandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada 126’sı kadın, 49’u erkek toplam 175 hasta tarandı. Önce primer ve sekonder baş ağrısı gruplarına ayrılarak, 3. Uluslararası Baş ağrısı sınıflandırma Ölçeği’ne göre kendi içlerinde alt grup baş ağrısı çeşitleri tanımlandı ve eşlik eden kronik hastalıkların birlikteliği incelendi. Bulgular: Primer baş ağrısı grubunda hastaların %21.1’i migren, %39.4’ü gerilim tipi baş ağrısı, %51’i trigeminal nevralji olarak tanımlanırken, sekonder baş ağrısı grubunda %24.2’si hipertansiyon ilişkili, %18.2’si temporal arterite bağlı, %18.2 servikal patolojiye bağlı, %12.1 intrakraniyal kitleye bağlı başağrısı olarak tanımlanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma geriatrik popülasyonda en sık görülen başağrısı tiplerinin saptanması için yapılmış olup, çalışmanın sonuçları, yaşlılarda hem primer hem sekonder baş ağrılarını değerlendirmede farkındalığı artırmak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmanın daha geniş hasta popülasyonu ile yapılması; bu grupta baş ağrısı etyolojisini oluşturan etkenlerin daha doğru bir oranda ortaya konulması açısından önemlidir.
