SYNOPSIS Four female patients with basilar artery migraine (BAM) developing after isolated whiplash neck injuries, uncomplicated by spinal fractures, luxations or by intracranial lesions, are described. BAM constitutes a subtype of posttraumatic migraine headaches, occurring in the absence of direct head trauma, and moderately and variably ameliorated with common anti‐migraine medications and physical therapy directed to the injured neck.
