Migraine of Early Onset: A Study of Thirty One Cases in Which the Disease First, Appeared Between One and Four Years of Age

Abstract: Summary The authors report on thirty one cases of migraine with onset between one and four years of age. Headache was not given as a symptom before the age of two years, but attacks of paleness and intense vomiting sometimes set in at the age of only one year. The attacks are generally shorter, the prodromal signs are less marked, and the nausea is more intense in children than in adults. At the time of the follow‐up study the frequency of the attacks was as a rule diminishing. Consequently the prognosis does … Show more

“…In doing so they began to develop criteria by which childhood migraines could be diagnosed. In contrast to the observations in adults, their study they noted a predominance of males [23], that children may have short-duration headaches, temperature may change during a headache, a psychogenic element is very important, and allergies or food sensitivities do not always bear out.
