Abstract |
: |
Migraine is one of the most common causes of headaches in children. Migraine has also been recognized in infants; however, the clinical features are frequently atypical and difficult to recognize. They may include intermittent head holding, hair or ear pulling, crying, irritability, vomiting, pallor, or head tilt. These features are usually relieved by a brief period of sleep. Several migraine variants have been described. They include, abdominal migraine, benign positional vertigo, paroxysmal torticollis, and ocular migraine. As well, several migraine related phenomena have been recognized, including motion sickness, syncope, somnambulism, and recurrent vomiting after mild head injury. Infantile colic is a very common cause of pain and crying in apparently healthy infants. The pathogenesis and the age specific presentation are not well understood. The crying could be due to either behavioral disturbances or organic pain, however, organic causes are rarely found. In one patient report, an infant with colic was thought to have infantile migraine with remarkable improvement after starting anti-migraine therapy. A more recent case control study examined the prevalence of sleep disorders in children with migraine. Compared to controls, children with migraine showed a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances during infancy, as well as infantile colic. The current study was designed to examine the possible association between infantile colic and childhood migraine. |
