Acute confusional migraine
(
ACM
) is recognized as a rare, but highly disabling migraine equivalent, mostly reported in children and adolescents. Herein we describe the case of a 12-year-old girl admitted to hospital for an acute confusional state and severe psychomotor agitation, associated with a pulsating headache and
nausea
, which turned out to be a manifestation of
ACM
. The girl was discharged on topiramate prophylaxis, titrated up to 75 mg/die; no recurrence of confusional and/or headache episodes has been reported over the last 14 months to date. Due to the rarity of this clinical entity, only anecdotal reports about acute and prophylactic treatment of
ACM
are available in the literature. The case reported herein suggests that topiramate seems to be effective in
ACM
prophylaxis, although a longer observation period in our patient and more cases are needed to confirm any long-term clinical benefit.
