By Jennifer Bickel, M.D. Acute confusional migraine (ACM) is a rare migraine variant, affecting children and adolescents, as well as adults. There are few data on the treatment of an ACM attack. Background.— ACM, well described in children, has rarely been reported in adults. Acute confusional migraine (ACM) is a dramatic, rare manifestation of migraine described mostly for children and adolescents.
