Abstract

|
Acute confusional migraine (ACM) is a rare type of migraine variant. It is primary seen in adolescent with migraine history. The specific symptom is an acute confusional mental change after acute onset headache. Symptoms include decreased alertness, disorientation, speech disturbance, agitation, difficulty in recognizing family and familiar locations, and amnesia. Patients mainly visit to emergency department due to acute mental problems. But there are no specific findings in neuroradiologic examinations and laboratory tests in ACM patients. And ACM is not widely known disease to physicians. So it takes long time to exclude other disorders and dysfunctions until to reach the diagnosis. Patient’s history of migraine, family history, and spontaneous relief of symptoms after deep sleep without medication can be helpful in diagnosis. We experienced a rare case of ACM of 13-year-old male patient, therefore we report the case with literature review.
