“…Although migraine is a common and crippling neurological disorder in pediatric populations, it has not received much attention in children younger than 7 years of age, with only a limited number of published studies describing the clinical and therapeutic features of migraine in this younger age group . Furthermore, symptoms with possible clinical and therapeutic implications such as osmophobia, allodynia, and cranial autonomic signs have not been reported in these studies .…”

AIM Migraines in children younger than 7 years of age have received limited attention in the published literature. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of migraine phenotypes in children younger than 7 years, and to compare them with migraines in children older than 7 years of age.METHOD We reviewed all standard clinical files, collected over 4 years, related to children with a diagnosis of primary headache. We included all children younger than 7 years diagnosed with migraine in our study.RESULTS A total of 374 children (188 males, 186 females) were affected by migraine with/ without aura: 40 of these patients (10.7%; 20 males, 20 females; mean age 5y 7mo, SD 1y 2mo) where younger than 7 years old. The frequencies of the main migraine features in the younger age group were similar to those of children older than 7 years, with the exception of a shorter duration of migraine and reduced frequency of attacks.

“…In the present study, vomiting was significantly associated with younger age at onset of migraine and at admission to the headache clinic. Accordingly, Abu‐Arafeh and Howells found that vomiting was present in 59% of patients in whom migraine first occurred before age 7 years. Min et al reported an association of vomiting with younger age in adults.…”

The higher rate of vomiting in the younger patients and the patients with awakening pain may be explained by a common underlying pathogenetic mechanism of vomiting and migraine involving autonomic nerve dysfunction/immaturity. The association of vomiting with parental migraine points to a genetic component of vomiting and migraine. It should be noted that some of the findings may simply reflect referral patterns in the tertiary clinic.

“…Abu-Arafeh i Howell [6] zwracają uwagę na rosnącą ilość rozpoznań napadowych bólów głowy o cechach migrenowych czy napięciowych u dzieci najmłodszych poniżej 7. roku życia. Bóle te są w większości nieklasyfikowalne ze względu na trudności z uzyskaniem wiarygodnego wywiadu od tych dzieci.…”
