AB A  15-year-old  girl  presented  to  the  office  with  her  mother  to  discuss  her  migraines.  She  has  episodic  unilateral  throbbing  headaches  accompanied  by  nausea,  photophobia,  and  phonophobia.  She  also  reports  a  visual  prodrome,  characterized  by  a  jagged  line  pattern  (Figure  201-1).  She  used  to  have  a  migraine  about  every  3  months,  but  is  now  having  one  almost  every  week.  She  misses  a  day  of  school  with  each  migraine.  She  is  not  under  any  unusual  stressors.  Her  mother  has  migraines  and  benefitted  greatly  from  taking  a  prophylactic  medication.
