What is the cause of the back of the head headache

In most cases, the pain is directly related to the pain site and the organs involved. Pain in the back of the head is most likely caused by problems in the occipital lobe, cerebellum and cervical spine. Hemorrhage from tumors in the occipital lobe or cerebellum may indicate pain in the back of the head. Cervical spondylosis may also indicate pain in the back of the head due to nerve compression. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a serious cerebrovascular accident that requires immediate hospital attention. Angiography may be required, and immediate surgery may be required.
