Gagnier Abstract (Altern Med Rev 2001;6(4):383-389) Introduction In the United States, approximately 24 million individuals suffer from migraine headaches.[1] These occur more often in women than men, between the ages of 10 and 40, and often remit after age 50. In addition, there appears to be some familial origin. A migraine headache is defined as, "a benign recurring headache and/or neurologic dysfunction usually attended by pain-free interludes and often provoked by stereotyped stimuli. A migraine may be identified both by its activators (red wine, hunger, lack of sleep, glare, perfume, periods of letdown) and its deactivators (sleep, pregnancy, exhilaration, sumatriptan.")[2] A migraine headache can last 4-72 hours, is throbbing, moderate to severe in intensity, and unilateral; becomes worse with exertion: and is associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, and smell.[1] Subcategories include common migraine, classic migraine, basilar migraine, and carotidynia.[2]

But there is so much more work to be done, so many more people to reach around the world who are scared, confused, and feeling like nobody else in the world understands how they suffer or how they feel. Many people still have no diagnosis, no neurologist, no treatment, no support network, no confidants, nobody who understands. Many are left without jobs, afraid they cannot care for their children or drive, left without income or insurance.

84. Migraine:d basilar Artery migraine {Back to Outline}. However, one reported fatality with migraine was probably due to a complicated basilar artery attack.{128}. http://www.wfubmc.edu/neurology/migraine/migd.html

Retinal Migraine The IHS code is 1.4 for retinal migraine. A short description from the Headache Classification Committee is the following: repeated attacks of monocular scotoma or blindness lasting less than one hour and associated with headache. Other ocular or structural vascular disorder must be ruled out. Additional terms include: ocular migraine, anterior visual pathway migraine, and ophthalmic migraine. This condition may be broadly defined as a transient or permanent monocular visual disturbance accompanying a migraine attack or occurring in an individual with a strong history of migrainous episodes. One term applicable to all such attacks would be "ocular migraine;" however, to include optic nerve dysfunction as well, a more general phrase, ie, "anterior visual pathway migraine," may be preferable. This last phrase would include reported defects, such as ischemic papillitis, retinal hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, central serous retinopathy, pigmentary changes of the retina, and optic nerve atrophy. The exact genetic predisposition to this subtype of migraine headache is unknown. The familial occurrence is similar to that expected in all patients with migraine preceded by visual aura, with an estimated 25% positive familial history. Retinal migraine is expected to be more common in women than men, which is true of migraine headaches in general, but this also has not be documented.

Email Address: Characteristic Symptoms of BAM Basilar Artery Migraine is normally characterized by a severe headache that often occurs in the occipital region (near the base of the skull in the back of the head), although the pain may also be in the region of the temporal lobe (above and just forward of the ear) and/or the eye (usually a bit above and behind the eyeball itself). Though the headache is normally present in some form, Basilar Artery Migraine can occur without one. BAM is normally distinguishable from other disorders by its inclusion of visual, cerebellar, and brainstem disturbances. It often leads to syncope (fainting), and may either precede or accompany a headache. Symptoms and Differential Diagnosis In making a differential diagnosis for Basilar Artery Migraine, neurologists should look for the presence of two or more of the typical symptoms, which include vertigo, tinnitus, decreased or impaired hearing, ataxic gait, dysarthria, visual symptoms (normally in both eyes), diplopia, bilateral paresthesias or paresis, and impaired consciousness. These symptoms are usually, although not necessarily, followed by a throbbing headache in the occipital region (the back of the head). The vertigo that accompanies Basilar Artery Migraine normally lasts between 5 minutes and one hour.
