Abstract

From 123 hospital charts with a diagnosis of migraine, seen between the years 1974 and 1978, ten cases have been selected of complicated migraine and three cases of migraine with special features. A review, and a discussion of the clinical characteristics, and of the treatment of these unusual migraines has been made. The three cases with special features include migraine in association with hyperlipidemia, with Raynaud's disease and with meningioma.

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.
