Summary
Migraines can cause rare skin markings on the forehead that resolve on their own. The cause of these migraine-associated cutaneous markings remains unknown, requiring further research.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Migraines are a frequent emergency department complaint.
- Migraines with extensive, self-resolving skin markings are rarely reported.
- The etiology of these cutaneous manifestations is currently unknown.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of migraines with associated cutaneous markings.
- To highlight the rarity and unknown cause of this condition.
Main Methods:
- A case presentation of a 28-year-old male with recurrent migraines and transient forehead skin markings.
- Diagnostic imaging (MRI) was performed and yielded normal results.
- Treatment was limited to pain management for migraines.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with recurrent migraines accompanied by temporary forehead skin markings.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results were unremarkable.
- The cutaneous markings resolved spontaneously as migraine symptoms subsided.
Conclusions:
- The cause of migraine-associated skin markings is unknown.
- The markings appear to be self-limiting and resolve with migraine remission.
- Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology, natural history, and optimal management of these rare markings.

Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

293
Marking site boundaries using a compass is a precise surveying technique that ensures the accuracy of boundary delineation. The process begins by using provided site details, including the bearings and lengths of each boundary line. The initial step involves calculating latitudes and departures for all sides of the site. This computation verifies that the traverse is free of errors, ensuring a closed and accurate boundary.The process starts at a known point, such as Point A, which is often...

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...
