| Abstract [eng] |
Background. Abdominal migraine (AM) is a rare functional disorder that mainly affects children but can also manifest in adulthood. It is classified as an episodic syndrome that may be associated with migraine in the The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition and as a functional abdominal pain disorder according to Rome IV criteria. Despite the widespread understanding of migraine, AM remains understudied, underdiagnosed, and inadequately treated. Aim. This article aims to review and summarize the present literature on AM. Materials and methods. The method of this research is a literature review. The keyword “abdominal migraine” was used to search for relevant articles in PubMed and Google Scholar databases, with a focus on the most recent publications. All selected articles were in English. Results. AM typically begins between ages 3 and 10 but often resolves by adulthood, affecting 1-4% of schoolage children. It shares similarities with migraine in pathogenesis, triggers, associated symptoms, and relieving factors. Despite the resemblances, AM is characterised as acute paroxysmal recurrent abdominal pain episodes lasting up to 3 days without headache which is a cardinal symptom of migraine. Abdominal pain can be associated with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and pallor. Diagnosis relies on two existing diagnostic criteria. The treatment is symptomatic and involves both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. Conclusions. There is a common misconception that AM exclusively affects children. Diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping disorders and inconsistent diagnostic criteria. Moreover, evidence-based treatment is lacking. Therefore, education and more clinical trials are of critical need. |
