Prevention of Perioperative Abdominal Migraine in a Patient Undergoing Spinal Fusion: A Case Report

We describe a 74-year-old patient with progressively worsening back pain, severe neurogenic claudication, and a history of opioid-triggered abdominal migraine. As a precautionary measure, a perioperative opioid-sparing treatment plan was devised to prevent abdominal migraine while the patient underwent elective lumbar fusion surgery. Opioid-sparing treatment plans may enable similar patients to undergo surgery without experiencing perioperative abdominal migraines.
