Clinical characterization of pediatric acute confusional migraine: a single-center case series.

ACM is a rare condition in pediatric neurology characterized by acute onset of confusion or altered mental status before, during, or after migraine headache. Clinical features overlap with other neurological disorders, making diagnosis challenging. To improve the diagnosis, treatment, and research of AMC, it is essential to include it in the International Classification of Headache Disorders and establish standardized diagnostic criteria.
