After surgery, no further attacks occurred. Three months later, EEG and CT scan were normalized. Now, five years later, she is still free of migraine or other types of headache nor any other neurological problem. Thus we present a case of late onset headache, mimicking migraine with aura, ...
A potential "migraine center" in the brainstem has been proposed, based on PET-scan results showing persistently elevated rCBF in the brainstem (ie, periaqueductal gray, midbrain reticular formation, locus ceruleus) even after sumatriptan-produced resolution of headache and related symptoms. These we...
