Abstract

This case report discusses a 48 year old female presenting with refractory status migrainous who ultimately achieved symptom resolution with the administration of propofol. Although limited evidence exists in the literature, propofol may have a utility in treating a disease process that contributes a significant financial burden and consumption of health care resources.
