Episodes typically last 2-72 hours, and patients are completely symptom-free in between episodes. It most commonly presents during childhood, and most children who experience abdominal migraine

Cyclical vomiting syndrome is a condition associated with recurrent episodic attacks of vomiting with periods of normalcy in between. It most commonly presents in childhood, and its symptoms overlap strongly with the gastrointestinal symptoms of migraine. While poorly understood, it is also believed

In addition to the abdominal pain and nausea/vomiting, other symptoms of seizures can sometimes be seen in abdominal epilepsy and may be helpful in diagnosis, including a duration of seconds to minutes, confusion or unresponsiveness during episodes, lethargy or sleep after episodes, and progression

Migraine aura typically precedes the onset of headache, evolves slowly, and most commonly consists of visual, sensory, and/or speech and language changes. Migraine aura can also occur in isolation without the headache. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort are common symptoms of migraine, and

Abdominal aura is a common type of epileptic aura, and it is very common in temporal lobe epilepsy compared to extratemporal focal epilepsies. In one study, more than half of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy experienced abdominal aura, and most of those cases of abdominal aura evolved into a

237:
The presence of episodic abdominal complains in a person with known epilepsy does not necessarily indicate that they are having epileptic abdominal aura, as abdominal discomfort and nausea are very common symptoms in people with and without epilepsy.

If the abdominal aura does not precede or evolve into another type of seizure, it can be very difficult to diagnose. The most conclusive way to diagnose abdominal epilepsy is by correlating the abdominal symptoms with epileptic activity on an

while they are not classically considered aura symptoms for the purposes of diagnosing migraine with aura, the abdominal symptoms may still precede and predict the onset of migraine headache.

The symptoms of abdominal aura generally coincide with or precede the associated migraine or seizure, and depending on the etiology, they may last seconds to hours.
