title: An adolescent girl with headache and syncope.
abstract: A 14-year-old girl with a 3-month history of multiple syncopal episodes followed by headache was diagnosed as having basilar artery migraine. She did not improve on anticonvulsant, anticholinergic, or beta-blocker therapy. Her symptoms resolved during a course of skin temperature biofeedback training, and she remains asymptomatic at 1 year follow-up.
