Transient Oculosympathetic Paresis (Group-Ii Raeder Paratrigeminal Neuralgia) Of Childhood - Migraine Variant

Although a recognized migrainous phenomenon in adults, transient oculosympathetic paresis in childhood has been rarely observed. Six pediatric patients are reported with transient oculosympathetic paresis occurring within the context of characteristic vascular headaches. The clinical profiles of the patients suggest transient dysfunction of third-order ocular sympathetic pathways and represent most likely a benign, self-limited variant of pediatric migrainous neuralgia.
