Migraine and recurrent epistaxis in children.
Pediatric Neurology 2005 August
Recurrent epistaxis is a common pediatric problem with uncertain etiology in most cases. We observed frequent complaints, or history of epistaxis in children with migraine. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between epistaxis and migraine in children. A detailed questionnaire was used to conduct a study of 45 consecutive patients, ages 6-11 years, with migraine, diagnosed according to the 1997 proposed pediatric revisions to the International Headache Society criteria; the patients were evaluated in our Pediatric Neurology Clinic. Control subjects consisted of 64 children without recurrent headaches, matched as a group for age and sex, and drawn as a convenient sample from two general pediatric practices and an elementary school. Sixteen (36%) of 45 patients with migraine had epistaxis as compared with 7 (11%) of 64 control subjects (odds ratio = 4.5; 95% confidence interval 1.6-12.1; P = 0.002). Epistaxis began an average of 3 years before migraine with similar characteristics to idiopathic epistaxis in habitual nose-bleeders, such as onset in early childhood, high incidence in sleep, and family history of epistaxis. This study demonstrates a significant association between migraine and recurrent epistaxis in children. Recurrent epistaxis increased the odds of migraine more than fourfold. Moreover, these data raise the question of whether epistaxis may represent a precursor to childhood migraine. The two disorders may share a common pathogenesis, and a prospective, longitudinal study is required to define further the relationship between them.
