Abstract

This case involves migraine with typical aura and headache in addition to migraine with typical aura without headache and frequent episodic tension-type headache. The case emphasizes that multiple diagnoses are sometimes necessary. A precise diagnosis of aura requires specific questions. Both acute and prophylactic treatment must be carefully adjusted, which requires several visits. In this case, expert diagnosis and treatment led to a positive result, which is established in the majority of patients with typical aura.
