Differential diagnosis of migraine

Migraine is one of the most frequent neurological diseases. The differential diagnosis of migraine is rather extensive comprising the whole spectre of primary headaches, i.e. various migraine types, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, tension-type headaches, migraine with autonomic displays and other primary headaches including migraine complications. The problems of secondary headaches are very comprehensive. However, the essential for diagnosis is to carry out a thorough anamnesis, clinical picture and neuroimaging methods.
