There are also problems with migraine treatment and although both traditional analgesics and specific anti-migraine products are available in the market, treatment of migraine patients is still not sufficiently effective. For example, specific anti-migraine agents (triptans) help control only two out of three attacks, and migraine prevention products are considered effective, if they reduce the frequency of attacks by 50% or more. The chronification of migraine attacks and the development of chronic daily headaches, occurring in 1% of patients per year [5], are a significant clinical problem.

Her hemoglobin level was low (10.6 g/ dL (normal range 12-14 g/dL)). Her electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm. Her brain CT and diffusion MRI were both normal. She was monitored at postictal period at the emergency service. Phenytoin infusion was started at a loading dose of 20 mg/ kg to suppress seizure activity. As she continued to have persistent alteration of consciousness, anisocoria, and delayed motor response to painful stimuli without any sign of improvement, neuroimaging tests were repeated at the same day. Control brain diffusion MRI B1000 sections showed hyperintense areas, and corresponding hypointense areas on ADC, consistent with acute infarction in bilateral cerebellar, bilateral mesencephalon, pons, and right thalamic area (Figure 1). Having been diagnosed with TOB-S, the patient was admitted to intensive care unit. She was administered acetylsalicylic acid, low molecular weight heparin, and levatirecetam 2x1000 mg as a maintenance dose. She had no recurrent seizure episodes. Her electroencephalogram did not show any active epileptiform pattern. On 21st day of admission she was intubated and connected to mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure.
