Abdominal migraine with acute watery diarrhea and dehydration: Successful treatment with Valproic acid in a pediatric case.
Clinical Case Reports 2024 March
Abdominal migraine (AM) is a prevalent pediatric condition that rarely affects adults. Multiple diagnostic criteria have been established, but in general, AM is characterized by unprovoked episodes of acute central abdominal pain with migrainous characteristics and periods of respite. Recurrent stomach pain is a prevalent symptom globally, with a significant portion of cases falling under the category of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) due to the absence of identified biological causes. There is a notable prevalence of migraines among individuals with a family history of the condition, indicating a genetic predisposition. A descriptive report has been prepared on the participant who had AM associated with acute watery diarrhea (AWD) on January 2023. The patient's parents had given written informed consent for publishing this case report. In this case report, we present the clinical scenario of a 12-year-old male child who experienced AM symptoms alongside a history of absence seizures. The child presented with episodes of abdominal pain and AWD. Despite extensive investigation and treatment, there was no improvement in abdominal pain. However, after 1 week of oral valproic acid administration, the patient remained symptom-free during the follow-up period. Dehydration, along with other factors, has been identified as a triggering factor for AM. Acute watery diarrhea has the potential to disrupt the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal system, and dehydration may lead to subsequent abdominal symptoms.
