An unusual case report on the possible role of Warfarin in migraine prophylaxis

BACKGROUND: Migraine is a complex disease whose physiopathological mechanisms are still not completely revealed. FINDINGS: We describe an unusual case, not yet described in literature, of a patient who reported migraine remission, but still presented aura attacks, since starting a therapy with Warfa...

description BACKGROUND: Migraine is a complex disease whose physiopathological mechanisms are still not completely revealed. FINDINGS: We describe an unusual case, not yet described in literature, of a patient who reported migraine remission, but still presented aura attacks, since starting a therapy with Warfarin. CONCLUSIONS: This case report brings out new questions on the role of the coagulation, especially the blood coagulation pathway, in migraine with aura pathogenesis, and on the possibility to use vitamin K synthesis inhibitors, Warfarin or new generation drugs, as possible therapy to use in migraine prophylaxis.
