Extractions: Definition Basilar 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 its branches to the brainstem as well as the posterior cerebral arteries (Baloh and Harker, 1993). Under the current classification, the migranous episode must meet the criteria for "migraine with aura," and then also meet the following criteria for BAM. Basilar Artery Migraine: Pt. must have two (2) or more of the following symptoms: Note that although the headache associated with BAM is almost invariably bioccipital, the patient does NOT have to have a headache to meet the criteria for BAM. Discovery and Description The term "basilar artery migraine" was coined by E.R. Bickerstaff in 1961 in a paper to the Lancet (Bickerstaff, 1961). Dr. Bickerstaff had noticed several patients with a migraine-type headache whose symptoms were more consistent with the vertebrobasilar circulation of the brain than the internal carotid artery (ICA) circulation. The latter had been deemed by researchers to be the cause of symptoms in most migraine sufferers. Bickerstaff felt that if the ICA could be at fault, the vertebrobasilar circulation could just as easily be affected by whatever process was occuring to cause migraine. He described BAM in 34 patients, 26 of whom were adolescent girls. A typical description from his paper is as follows:

Extractions: BASILAR MIGRAINE When migraine affects the circulation in back of the brain or neck, it can cause Basilar Migraine or Bickerstaff's Syndrome. It occu rs most frequently in young women. Dizziness, double vision, loss of balance, confusion, slurred speech, fainting and disorientation can occur. During the acute headache, some lose consciousness. Often these patients are mistakenly thought to be intoxicated, under the influence of drugs, or suffering from other conditions. A previous history of migraine is helpful in making the diagnosis.

Extractions: MassageToday.com Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Basilar migraine was described by Bickerstaff in 1961 as a rare variant of migraine which frequently affects young women and girls and bears a strong relationship with menses.1 The condition is also known as basilar artery migraine, Bickerstaff's migraine, and syncopal migraine. Migraine literature also groups basilar migraine in with hemiplegic migraine and ophthalmoplegic migraine under the heading of "complicated migraines." Basilar migraine has since been shown to affect all age groups and both sexes with the usual migraine female predominance.2 The basilar migraine has been described by the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society as "a migraine with aura symptoms clearly originating from the brainstem or from both occipital lobes." The aura phase of the migraine is due to transient brainstem and cerebellar ischemia, which can be mistaken for a transient ischemic attack of the vertebrobasilar circulation. The symptoms noted in the aura phase of the basilar artery migraine are the result of a combination of disturbances in the cerebellum, brainstem, and occipital lobes, which generally last for less than one hour. The aura phase usually begins with a bilateral disturbance of vision that may occasionally progress to temporary blindness. Visual symptoms are followed by varying combinations of ataxia, dysarthria, bilateral vertigo, tinnitus, changing levels of consciousness, bilateral paresthesias of the limbs, face, and tongue, and quadriparesis. Other brainstem- related symptoms less commonly noted include nystagmus, diplopia, and decreases in hearing.1-9

Extractions: COMPLICATED MIGRAINE In all these forms, there seems to be an increased risk of the migraine producing permanent neurological changes which may also correlate with changes on the MRI scan like those seen in stroke. Medications such as the beta-blockers, triptans and ergots are often avoided in these types of headaches for fear of increasing the risk of stroke. Calcium blockers and anti-epileptic drugs seem to be best for prevention. Smoking, the use of hormones in menopause and birth control pills are avoided as well again to decrease the risk of long-term problems.

Extractions: Decreased level of consciousness Comments: Many of the symptoms listed under the diagnostic criteria are subject to misinterpretation as they may occur with anxiety and hyperventilation. The symptoms due to brainstem function, such as vertigo, dysarthria, diplopia occur as the only neurologic symptoms of the attack in 25 percent of patients with basilar migraine. Bickerstaff described a typical sequence of neurological events that involved total blindness and sensorial clouding that was seen frequently in adolescent women. He indicated that the headache episodes began with total blindness and would be accompanied or followed by various combinations of vertigo, ataxia, dysarthria, tinnitus, and distal /perioral paresthesias. Often the patients experience a state of confusion. These symptoms often persist for 20 to 30 minutes and are generally followed by a throbbing occipital headache. The altered sensorial effects may last up to 5 days and be marked by confusion. Originally the term basilar artery migraine was used but since spasm of the basilar artery may not be the mechanism of the attacks, the term basilar migraine is preferred. Many cases have basilar attacks intermingled with attacks with typical aura. Basilar attacks are mostly seen in young adults.
