[Is childhood migraine an immature form of adult migraine?].
Childhood migraine is a common problem among the primary complaints of the pediatric population. But for the general practitioners there are little known about clinical characteristics and management strategies. Headache practitioners commonly notice the age related differences of headache characteristics and management schedules. This paper primarily aimed to answer the question if pediatric migraine is an unmaturated form of adult migraine, by discussing the pathophysiological basis, clinical forms and management strategies.
