“…Morrison found that seven of 46 female patients who were referred due to migraine experienced abnormal perceptions (smell and/or taste hallucinations and distorted body image). Six of the seven had an actual or previous affective disorder [11]. All of them experienced either depression or euphoria during their attacks.…”

BackgroundSynesthesia is, as visual migraine aura, a common and fascinating perceptual phenomenon. Here we present a unique case with synesthesias exclusively during visual migraine auras.Case presentationA 40-year-old woman with a cyclic mood disorder had suffered from migraine with visual aura for several years. On several occasions she had experienced "mixing of senses" during the aura phase. Staring at strong bright light she could experience intense taste of lemon with flow from the salivary glands.ConclusionAcquired synesthesia, exclusively coincident with migraine aura, gives support to the idea of an anomalous cortical processing underlying the phenomenon.

“…These changes are important to the patient and little researched. One small series suggested that abnormal perceptual experiences occur in 15% of migraineurs 44. Blau gave an account of the ‘free interval’—the gap between the end of the visual aura and headache onset in migraine with aura.…”

Migraine: mimics, borderlands and chameleons

Diagnostically, headache is the easy part of migraine. It is the surrounds of migraine--the aura, prodrome and postdrome--that can be most challenging, and confused with other pathologies. This article examines the definition and variants of migraine; alternative diagnoses for which migraine may be mistaken (mimics); conditions that lie between migraine and other diagnoses (borderlands) and the possible presentations of migraine posing as other conditions (chameleons). The focus is on adults, with only passing reference to children. Migraine is more often a chameleon than a mimic; and it is the careful history that usually makes the distinction. Given migraine's prevalence of 10-15%, relatively uncommon features of migraine occur quite often, in comparison with frequent manifestations of less common diseases. Thus, even rare or under-recognised presentations of migraine come into the differential diagnosis of many presentations.

“…osmophobia." The possible presence of osmophobia among the symptoms accompanying pain during a migraine attack has been known for a long time [5][6][7]. Recently, osmophobia has been confirmed as accompanying migraine in clinical populations of both adults [8,9] and children [10].…”

Based on publications on migraine in the medical literature after 2004, the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3), with publication date early in 2013, will provide a framework to systematize those migraine forms that the second edition (ICHD-2) included in its Appendix. The most needed changes concern so-called chronic migraine. The revised ICHD-2 (ICHD-2R) did introduce appreciable changes to the ICHD-2 diagnostic criteria for chronic migraine. To be more relevant to actual clinical practice, the classification should discriminate between forms of migraine without aura depending on low, medium, or high frequency of attacks. The classification should include transformed migraine, an appellation that seems preferable to chronic migraine, in the group of migraine complications using extended time parameters compared with those currently used in ICHD-2R for chronic migraine. Finally, it should assess the opportunity of a different classification for medication-overuse headache.
