title: An unusual case report on the possible role of Warfarin in migraine prophylaxis.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Migraine is a complex disease whose physiopathological mechanisms are still not completely revealed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We describe an unusual case, not yet described in literature, of a patient who reported migraine remission, but still presented aura attacks, since starting a therapy with Warfarin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case report brings out new questions on the role of the coagulation, especially the blood coagulation pathway, in migraine with aura pathogenesis, and on the possibility to use vitamin K synthesis inhibitors, Warfarin or new generation drugs, as possible therapy to use in migraine prophylaxis.
