Abstract EN
This paper consists of a case history and an overview of the relationship, aetiology, and treatment of comorbid bipolar disorder migraine patients.
A MEDLINE literature search was used.
Terms for the search were bipolar disorder bipolar depression, mania, migraine, mood stabilizer.
Bipolar disorder and migraine cooccur at a relatively high rate.
Bipolar II patients seem to have a higher risk of comorbid migraine than bipolar I patients have.
The literature on the common roots of migraine and bipolar disorder, including both genetic and neuropathological approaches, is broadly discussed.
Moreover, bipolar disorder and migraine are often combined with a variety of other affective disorders, and, furthermore, behavioural factors also play a role in the origin and course of the diseases.
Approach to treatment options is also difficult.
Several papers point out possible remedies, for example, valproate, topiramate, which acts on both diseases, but no first-choice treatments have been agreed upon yet.
