Carnitine Palmityltransferase II (CPT2) Deficiency and Migraine Headache: Two Case Reports

Abstract

Carnitine palmityltransferase II deficiency may represent another etiology for migraine headache, and may be useful in further defining the pathophysiology of migraine. When properly recognized, supplementation with carnitine may improve the outcome of the migraine as well as the carnitine-associated symptoms.
