This PedsCases Note provides a one-page summary of the management of migrane in the pediatric population. It outlines the differences between a migrane with and without aura, as well as presenting a diagnosis and management flowchart that is meant to be easily used on the wards. It was created by Katharine Jensen, a medical student at the University of Alberta, with help from Dr. Colin Wilbur, a pediatric neurologist and assistant professor at the University of Alberta.
