1Department of Neurology, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background:
Basilar-type migraine (BTM) is a rare subtype of migraine with aura. Impaired consciousness or coma can occur in such patients.
Aim:
To report two Chinese adolescent patients diagnosed as BTM with coma.
Materials And Methods:
We describe two Chinese adolescent patients diagnosed with BTM with coma. Literatures of migraineurs presented with coma were reviewed.
Results:
The two patients are partially resolved with prophylactic propranolol or valproate therapy.
Conclusion:
BTM should be considered for any patient presenting with migraine and coma. Adequate care should be taken to prevent migraine attacks.
