Abstract
Background Migraine equivalents are clinical conditions which often involve children who do not complain of headache. They include abdominal migraine, motion sickness, limb pain, cyclical vomiting, benign paroxysmal vertigo, and benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT). The aim of our study was to investigate whether children referred to us for BPT have developed migraine at a distance from our first observation.
