MIGRAINE IN CHILDREN
It is more usual for children to have common migraine than classical attacks with visual symptoms; these become more frequent in the teenage group. Children suffer from conditions called migraine equivalents which often take the form of periodic (cyclical) vomiting not due to any obvious cause such as over-indulgence of food. These ‘bilious attacks’ can occur once monthly but last no more than a day.Recurrent abdominal pain with, or without, vomiting is another warning that the child may develop migrainous headaches on growing up. Children who are more prone to travel sickness than others are a further group with a tendency to develop migraine in later life.In all these cases, a clue as to the true nature of the condition will often be found in the family because there is very likely to be a close relative with migrainous headaches.Although more women than men suffer from migraine, in children, boys are just as likely to have symptoms as girls.
