TOMBOY HEADACHE: NEW ENTITY AND EXPERIENCE FROM TERTIARY CARE CENTRE

Tomboy is a girl who exhibits characteristics or behaviours considered typical of the gender role of a boy. New terminology is being proposed that is “Tomboy Headache” in young girls having “Tomboy personality”, usually presenting with severe, excruciating vertex headache along with stubborn personality, relatively resistant to the usual anti migrainous treatment. Symptoms are relieved with gradual reversal of the personality towards feminine character with appropriate psychological intervention.
