Unlocking the Mystery of Acephalgic Migraine: Symptoms & Solutions

Research Summary

A fascinating case report in Clinical Medicine Research explores acephalgic migraine (AM), a migraine type where headache is absent but neurological symptoms occur. This report focuses on a 38-year-old woman experiencing episodic fatigue, nausea, and cognitive issues, initially attributed to other disorders. Partial relief with ondansetron hinted at migraine pathways, while triptans dramatically resolved symptoms, confirming AM. Her family history and personal triggers, like diet and hormones, supported this diagnosis. The case highlights the challenges of diagnosing AM, emphasizing the importance of thorough history-taking and clinician awareness to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests. Further research is recommended.
