Stroke The most wellrecognized type of migraine equivalent is abdominal migraine, in which cyclical vomiting, periodic attacks of nausea, or abdominal pain occur http://www.wfubmc.edu/neurology/migweb2/stroke.htm
Extractions: Focal symptoms and signs of the aura may persist beyond a headache phase. In the previous classification, this was termed complicated migraine. It is now defined by the IHS classification with two labels with increased specificity. If the aura lasts for longer than one hour but less than one week, the term migraine with prolonged aura is applied. If the signs persist for more than one week or a neuroimaging procedure demonstrates a stroke, a migrainous infarction has occurred. As pointed out previously, mid or later life the aura may not be followed by headache and has been termed migraine accompagnée or migraine associée. Migraine with aura (classic) in early reports was sometimes referred to as "ophthalmic migraine" (to be differentiated from ophthalmoplegic migraine, a subtype of migraine with aura). Migraine with aura is further reviewed under the headings: Cerebral, Ophthalmoplegic, Retinal, Basilar, and Other Varieties. Cerebral A variety of cerebral symptoms may occur in migraine with aura, including motor, visual, and other sensory defects. As pointed out previously, if the aura lasts for more than one hour , but less than one week, the term migraine with prolonged aura is applied. However, if the signs persist for more than one week, or a neuroimaging procedure shows a stroke the term used is migrainous infarction.

The prevalence and clinical features of migraine headache and abdominal migraine were studied in the well defined population of Aberdeen schoolchildren. Ten per cent of all children (2165) aged 5-15 years were given a questionnaire inquiring, among other symptoms, about the history of headache and abdominal pain over the past year. A total of 1754 children (81%) responded. Children with at least two episodes of severe headache and/or sever abdominal pain, attributed by the parents either to unknown causes or to migraine, were invited to attend for clinical interview and
AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL OF MIGRAINE Designations such as abdominal migraine, dietary migraine, cervical migraine, menstrual migraine, etc. abdominal migraine is diagnosed most often in children. http://www.meridianinstitute.com/migrai4.html
Extractions: ABSTRACT Current perspectives of migraine emphasize a multifactorical approach which include neurological, vascular and gastrointestinal factors. In this context, a systemic model based on intestinal etiology is proposed to integrate the varied research and clinical findings in the migraine literature. INTRODUCTION Migraine is a complex, systemic disorder of unknown causation. Typically, migraine presents with various neurologic, vascular, and gastrointestional symptoms. One of the major problems in understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of migraine is how to conceptualize both the nervous and vascular aspects of the syndrome. Traditionally, migraine has been regarded as a "vascular" headache due the obvious abnormalities in circulation to the head (Thomsen and Olesen, 1995; Agnoli and Marinis, 1985). More recently, nervous system involvement has been emphasized, with particular emphasis on the trigeminal or fifth cranial nerve (Buzzi et al., 1995) An integration of these two models has culminated in a trigemino-vascular theory which integrates nerve and circulatory processes (Buzzi and Moskowitz, 1992). Although the neurovascular components are a primary focus in medical diagnosis and treatment, historical and contemporary viewpoints also attribute great significance to gastrointestinal features. "Gastrointestinal disturbances including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea are almost universal." (Silberstein, 1995, p. 387)
SchoolNurse.com:Migraine Equivalents The first to gain some credibility was abdominal migraine. These syndromes remain vague and difficult to diagnose and treat, even for neurologists. http://www.schoolnurse.com/med_info/migraineeq.html
Extractions: Migraine Equivalents Several discrete migraine syndromes without prominent headache have been recognized in children and adolescents. These migraine equivalents are also termed migraine precursors, periodic syndromes of childhood, or specific migraine subsets. They are related to migraines by their periodicity, paroxysmal nature, frequent evolution to more common migraine variants, similarity to recognized adult migrainous syndromes, and the likelihood of a positive family history for migraines. Since there are no definitive tests or biologic markers, diagnosis of these pediatric migraine equivalents requires recognition of discrete syndrome complexes, together with negative test results for other conditions with similar symptoms. Four examples of migraine equivalents are: 1.) Benign paroxysmal vertigo Onset 1-3 years of age Vertigo, unsteadiness, pallor, and fear Typically lasts 1-5 minutes Resolves 1-2 years after onset 2.) Acephalgic migraine Onset 5-12 years of age Visual auras, typically with distorted visual images (Alice in Wonderland syndrome) Lasts <10 minutes Child often has migrainous vascular headaches as well 3.) Acute confusional migraine Onset 5-15 years of age Minor head trauma often precedes event Confusion, agitation, and memory disturbances Headache a minor component Lasts 6-8 hours Rarely recurs

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. 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.

Extractions: I still remember clearly the first time a Migraine disrupted my life, I was just six years old and in the first grade. I looked sick enough that the teacher asked me to put my head down on my desk. I still recall looking through the tall classroom windows, with the blinds drawn all the way up and dark battleship-gray fluffy-bellied clouds looming as part of an approaching autumn thunderstorm. Unbeknown to me at the time was that atmospheric pressure changes, induced by weather fronts, was a major Migraine trigger, a fact I will learn later in life. I marveled as the clouds seamed to hover over one side of the playground, and the bright and painful afternoon sunlight on the opposite side of a baseball field, a chiaroscuro effect. "USDA Roadside View" To this day, dramatic skies play a dominant roll in the landscapes I produce as an artist. The pain of my Migraines throughout my life has been like being tortured by invisible terrorists. An acute severe Migraine is difficult to explain to a non-suffer. Put it this way; after enduring the so-called 'headaches,' you don't fear other things, such as dentists and bullies. But you do fear having to explain to your childhood friends why you don't want to go out to play basketball. Better to play in pain than say "I have a headache", as that just invites bullying because kids just don't understand what they have not experienced.
