Stomach migraine or abdominal migraine as it is also known is a variant of migraine headaches that occurs mostly in children. It usually occurs in children where there is a family history of migraine sufferers.
Stomach migraines are rare in adults, but around 2% of children may suffer from them at some time.
Girls are more likely to be affected than boys. Children that suffer from stomach migraine are very likely to go on to develop migraine headaches as they get older. Leaving stomach migraine untreated is the main cause for it continuing in later life.
