Home Identifying Variations on the Migraine Theme Identifying Variations on the Migraine Theme Adapted From: Migraines For Dummies As if migraines aren't big enough mischief-makers as it is, they also like to sing show tunes and take on different personas. So here we turn to migraine variants Abdominal migraines Abdominal migraines, which are sometimes diagnosed in children, are unusual because they cause pain in the stomach and lead to nausea and vomiting (sometimes without a headache). A child who complains of recurrent pain in his stomach may be experiencing abdominal migraines. Children who suffer from abdominal migraines are likely to have migraine headaches in adulthood. Abdominal migraines are usually treated with anticonvulsant drugs. Basilar migraines The basilar migraine was once known as the basilar artery migraine, or BAM. It was considered a problem that was found primarily in young women and adolescent girls, but it occurs in both sexes and all ages. Basilar migraines are extremely rare, but they have the potential to be a serious health hazard in that they can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Symptoms to watch for are double vision, partial vision loss, terrible vomiting, dizziness, loss of balance, slurred speech, lack of coordination, numbness (on one or both sides of the body), weakness, and confusion. These symptoms typically go away at the onset of the actual headache, although they may last for days after the pain disappears.

What was formerly known as “basilar artery migraine” or “basilar migraine” is now termed “basilar-type migraine” and is listed as 1.2.6 in the new IHS classification. A description of this condition is listed in Table 6. Basilar-type attacks are mostly seen in young adults. While originally the terms “basilar artery migraine” or “basilar migraine” were used, the involvement of the basilar artery territory was uncertain, and therefore, it is now preferred to use the term “basilar-type migraine.” Bickerstaff The visual symptoms described included vivid flashes of light throughout the entire visual field, intense enough to obscure vision completely, and sudden bilateral visual loss occurring over seconds and persisting up to 15 minutes, with a gradual return of vision to normal. None of these patients had their symptoms of brainstem ischemia accompanied by the characteristic fortification spectra of classic migraine. Later, Bickerstaff described a group of patients in whom consciousness was impaired during attacks of migraine, and he suggested that the mechanism was transient ischemia of the reticular activating system of the brainstem secondary to vasomotor disturbance in the distribution of the basilar artery. Loss of consciousness in migraine was reviewed by Lees and Watkins, with particular reference to the association of migraine and epilepsy. Basser

MVs occur more frequently in children and adolescents than in adults; they may precede the development of more typical migraines in adulthood. MVs are less recognized, less understood, and far less common than migraines; consequently, little population-based data are available describing the incidence or prevalence of MVs. Few randomized, controlled trials exist that describe efficacious treatments for these unusual entities. Recognition of MV is important, since many respond to typical antimigraine medications. Also, the clinical presentation of MV may suggest ominous disease processes which can lead to extensive and invasive diagnostic evaluations that may not be warranted. MVs include the following: Familial hemiplegic migraine Basilar migraine Benign coital headache Ophthalmoplegic migraine Retinal migraine Alternating hemiplegic migraine (primarily in childhood)

However, several variations of migraine are unique to children and rarely if ever occur in adults. Migraine may present with prominent nonheadache symptoms in young children (migraine without headache), or neurologic symptoms (aura) may be much more prominent than the headache. Various recognized childhood syndromes assumed to be pathophysiologically related to migraine include benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, abdominal migraine, cyclic vomiting of childhood, and acute confusional migraine (acute confusional state). Basilar migraine (particularly in adolescent girls) may present with prominent dizziness and near-syncope and/or syncope with or without a subsequent headache. Hemiplegic migraine (usually an autosomal dominant disorder) may present in early childhood and occasionally may continue into adulthood. Ophthalmoplegic migraine also may occur in childhood.

Tools Identifying Migraines in Children Ten percent of children and adolescents under fifteen years of age suffer from severe headaches. Researchers suspect that the number may actually be higher as children's headaches are difficult to diagnose and are often dismissed as fatigue or just "crankiness." Young children may have difficulty explaining their symptoms to parents or doctors, making an accurate diagnosis even more difficult. Any family history of migraines should be reported to your health professional. Until puberty, children's headaches affect boys and girls at an equal rate. During adolescence, however, headaches in young women become much more common than in their male counterparts. Childhood migraines often go away with age, but may come back later in life. Symptoms in Children Symptoms in children and teens differ in some ways from those of adults. With a few exceptions, children's headaches are fortunately shorter in duration than those of adults. While young children usually experience pain on both sides of the head, teenagers, like adults, tend to experience the pain on only one side of the head.

Migraine Associated Vertigo (MAV) Adapted from lecture handout given for the seminar "Recent advances in the treatment of Dizziness", American Academy of Neurology, 1997 and "Migraine Vs Meniere's", at the American Academy of Otolaryngology meeting, 1999-2001. Last edited: 2/2003 Please read our Education Index Search this site Timothy C. Hain, MD , Chicago IL. Dizziness and headache are individually very common human conditions and their combination is also a common symptom complex. Diagnostically, one must determine whether the dizziness and headaches are independent or related to each other, and in particular, whether they are a manifestation of migraine. Here we will review the association between vertigo and migraine. This subject has also been recently reviewed by Reploeg and Goebel (2002) as well as Radke et al (2002). Epidemiology Nearly 13% of the adult population of the United States has migraine. There is a male-female distribution difference. At all ages, about 5% of men have migraine (Stewart, 1994; Lipton et al, 2002). Women of childbearing age have a much higher prevalence, jumping up to roughly 10% at the onset of menstruation, and increasing to nearly 30% at the peak age of 35 years. At menopause, rates of migraine abruptly decline in women back to roughly 10%. The prevalence of Migraine is far higher than that of Meniere's disease , which occurs in only 0.2% of the US population (Wladislavosky-Waserman et al, 1984). In a small study of persons with Menieres disease, the prevalence of Migraine was about 50%, compared with a figure of about 25% in the non-Meniere's population (Radke et al, 2002). Other studies have shown different results however. There have also been recent studies showing that there is a higher frequency of

Home Address Change Archives Return to table of contents H OW D O P HYSICIAN M IGRAINEURS T REAT M IGRAINE At the Headache World 2000 conference, Randolph W. Evans, MD, of the University of Texas at Houston Medical School and Baylor College of Medicine, and Richard B. Lipton, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City, outlined the results of their survey of 42 headache specialists who attended an April 2000 meeting, in New Orleans, for the faculty of the Neurology Ambassador Program. SELF-SELECTED SPECIALITIES? Of the 33 participants who responded, 24 were male. The mean age was 51 for men, 43 for women. The mean number of years in practice was 20 for men, 10 for women. Within the previous year, 50% of the men and 67% of the women had attacks that fit the International Headache Society definition of migraine. "I was astonished that the prevalence of migraine was so high," commented Dr. Lipton. Two subsequent studies confirmed this high prevalence among neurologists specializing in headache. "To some extent, it may be that people self-select" in choosing their medical specialty, Dr. Lipton acknowledged. However, when neurologists were asked about their migraines, their responses indicated that half had migraine before deciding to specialize, and the remaining half developed migraine after choosing their specialty. Final results of the two expanded studies of approximately 1,000 attendees of the Neurology Ambassador Program and a sample of American Academy of Neurology members are currently being analyzed.

HeadachePainfree.Com asilar Artery Migraine (BAM) is a subtype of "migraine with aura" in the new IHS classification scheme. The category now combines the term "basilar artery migraine" with "posterior fossa migraine" under the term "basilar migraine" implying involvement of the basilar artery and it's branches to the brainstem as well as the posterior cerebral arteries. Under the current classification, the migrainous episode must meet the criteria for migraine with aura, and then must also meet the following criteria for BAM. Basilar Artery Migraine: Patient must have two or more of the following symptoms: Visual symptoms Double Vision Dysarthria (Difficulty speaking) Ataxia (Imbalance) Tinnitus (Ringing in the ears) Bilateral Paresthesia (numbness) Decreased Hearing Decreased Level Of Consciousness (Fainting, drop attacks) Note that although the headache associated with BAM is almost invariably occipital, the patient does not have to have a headache to meet the criteria for BAM. Discovery Pathogenesis Symptoms of BAM Vertigo (dizziness) Difficulty walking Ataxia (staggering and loss of balance) Double vision Partial blindness Blindness in both visual fields Slurred speech Dysarthria (inability to speak) Expressive Aphasia Parasthesias (Loss of feeling, tingling, or numbness of face and/or extremities)

Mental Health You are in: Headache Migraine Headache in Children Symptoms Conditions that cause severe headaches in children include both primary and secondary disorders. Primary headaches are conditions in which the headache is the medical condition and no underlying internal cause is present. Treatment is aimed at the specific headache disorder. Primary types include migraine headaches, tension headaches, chronic daily headaches, and cluster headaches. Doctors must find out which type of headache a child has, because the best treatments are different for each category. Headaches that come back again and again are usually the result of primary disorders. Secondary headaches are a result of some underlying process. When that process is treated, the associated headache usually gets better or goes away. Secondary headaches can be caused by many conditions, from harmless to life threatening. The following are examples of such conditions:

Dears visitors, my name is Ali Sultaneh. I am a neurosurgeon in the Syrian Capital Damascus. I have a Ph.D. in Neurosurgery from Bordenko Institute of Neurosurgery in Moscow (1994).Lately, I have developed a new method for treating migraine headache. Since 1998, I have performed operations on more than 1200 patients, the results were all successful. The operation is simple. It is done under local anesthesia (a skin operation), the time of the operation just about 20 minutes. There are no negative side effects. All patients who have had the operation have shown complete recovery, their pain has disappeared, and there has been no need for further medication.Also you can read about Self treatment of Headache ( non-medicinal and non-surgical ) at the Self-Treatment page (above), and see the images of devices for all kinds of headaches at the Figures of Devices pages.
