Official Title: An Open-Label Study of Topiramate in Pediatric Subjects With Basilar/Hemiplegic Migraine

Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of topiramate in the prevention of basilar and hemiplegic migraine in children and adolescents.

Detailed Summary: This is a single-center, open-label study consisting of 3 phases: Blinded Transition Phase, Open-Label Maintenance Phase, and Taper/Exit Phase. Subjects who have either succesfully completed the CAPSS-271 protocol or who discontinued the CAPSS-271 study due to lack of effectiveness after completing at least 2 weeks of maintenance treatment will be eligible to enroll.
