Previously called “childhood periodic syndromes that are commonly precursors of migraine” in International Headache Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)‐II, these disorders were renamed “episodic syndromes that may be associated with migraine” in ICHD‐III beta. The specific disorders reviewed in this article include: benign paroxysmal torticollis, benign paroxysmal vertigo, abdominal migraine, and cyclical vomiting syndrome, as well as infantile colic, which was recently added under the appendix section in ICHD‐III beta.
