“Abdominal migraine presents in childhood, with repeated stereotypical episodes of unexplained abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting occurring in the absence of headache”, describes Professor Jean-Christophe Cuvelier of the Lille University Hospital, who has published on the subject.
These childhood migraines begin on average around the age of seven. More than headaches therefore, they first result in abdominal pain, of moderate to severe intensity. Which are manifested by crises likely to last between one and 72 hours!
Paleness, loss of appetite…
The child complains of the stomach. Depending on the case, his pain appears diffuse, or perfectly targeted at the level of the contour of the navel. The pains are usually accompanied by pallor and/or loss of appetite and/or vomiting and/or nausea.
Abdominal migraine is part of what specialists call periodic syndromes of childhood (EPS). There are four, along with cyclic vomiting syndrome, benign paroxysmal vertigo and benign paroxysmal torticollis. All of them are precursors to migraine in some way. That is to say, they can be an early expression of migraine, in children.
