Multiple oral submucosal nodules in a young adult

Published:March 17, 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oooo.2023.03.006
      A 26-year-old white female was referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic of the University for evaluation of symptomatic oral submucosal nodules. Past medical history from the patient's mother revealed an uneventful pregnancy and delivery and normal crying at birth. However, hoarseness was noted when the patient started saying her first words. At the age of 13, the patient started to experience severe headaches centered in the orbital region, which were diagnosed as migraines. The headaches did not improve with the proposed treatment at the time (topiramate [Topamax] 50 mg), so the medication was discontinued at age 16. Fainting and vomiting during the headache crises and frequent general malaise were mentioned.
