Migraine is a common neurological disorder in developmental age, involving up to 20% of children and adolescents. Although gender differences in migraine epidemiology and clinical characteristics have been largely investigated in adulthood, this issue is considerably less known in pediatric patients. We aim at providing an overview of gender differences in pediatric migraine. The most recent literature was reviewed taking into account the epidemiological, pathophysiological, and clinical differences between boys and girls with migraine. Although many aspects need to undergo further investigation, we conclude that different aspects of childhood migraine syndrome may vary depending on the gender and age, especially with regard to pubertal development.
偏头痛是儿童期常见的神经障碍性疾病，涉及多达 20%的儿童和青少年。尽管在成年人群中已经广泛研究了偏头痛的流行病学和临床特征中的性别差异，但在儿科患者中，这一问题的了解程度要低得多。我们旨在概述儿科偏头痛中的性别差异。在考虑偏头痛男孩和女孩之间的流行病学、病理生理学和临床差异的基础上，对最新文献进行了综述。尽管许多方面需要进一步研究，但我们的结论是，儿童偏头痛综合征的不同方面可能因性别和年龄而异，特别是与青春期发育有关。
