Abstract

We report the case of a 24 year old man with a 22 year history of attacks of migraine without aura and attacks of ophthalmoplegic migraine. A persistent right 3rd nerve palsy appeared after the 17th attack. Although its existence has been debated, ophthalmoplegic migraine is recognized as such in the International Headache Society (IHS) classification. A review of published cases satisfying the IHS diagnostic criteria for ophthalmoplegic migraine is presented.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
