Abstract: | Sumatriptan was developed as an agent for the treatment of acute migraine. However, sumatriptan may alleviate not only migraine headache, but also headache of subarachnoid hemorrhage and meningitis. We report 2 patients whose migraine-like headache on presentation was relieved by subcutaneous sumatriptan. Later, both patients were diagnosed with aseptic meningitis. |
