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.
Welcome To, Sporadic hemiplegic migraine a separate entity should be classified with familial hemiplegic migraine Danish researchers compared the clinical http://www.globalfamilydoctor.com/publications/GFDnews/item701.htm
Extractions: Danish researchers compared the clinical characteristics of patients with sporadic hemiplegic migraine with those of patients with migraine with typical aura and patients with familial hemiplegic migraine, using a computer search of Denmark's National Patient Register to screen the population for patients with migraine with aura with motor weakness. They also examined case records from headache clinics and private practicing neurologists and placed advertisements. They screened patients and their relatives with a semi-structured validated telephone interview, and then all recruited patients were interviewed by a physician and given a neurologic examination. A total of 105 patients with sporadic hemiplegic migraine were identified. The researchers found: "72% had four typical aura symptoms: visual, sensory, aphasic, and motor. All had at least two symptoms present during attacks. A gradual progression and sequential appearance of aura symptoms was typical; compared with migraine with typical aura, the duration of each aura symptom was usually prolonged and bilateral motor symptoms were more frequent. Of the patients with sporadic hemiplegic migraine, 72% fulfilled the criteria for basilar migraine during attacks. The aura was usually followed by headache, as is common in sporadic hemiplegic migraine but not migraine with typical aura."

Familial Migraine with aura including hemiparesis and where at least one first degree relative has identical attacks.Familial hemiplegic migraine. http://www.dent.ucla.edu/sod/depts/oralfacial/courses/merrill/hemipleg.html
Extractions: C. At least one firs degree relative has identical attacks. Comments: This disorder is marked by paralysis of the limbs on one side (hemiplegia). It may be seen as a feature of the prodromal phase and resolve as the headache appears, as with migraine. The headache is usually ipsilateral to the hemiplegia. Brainstem dysfunction is commonly observed with the headache (see Basilar Migraine). This disorder probably has the same pathophysiology as migraine with typical aura. The reason for still keeping it separate is that families have been described where attacks are strikingly identical and sometimes long lasting. The term familial hemiplegic migraine has been abused since in most families different forms of migraine occur and most patients with hemiplegic attacks have these intermingled with more frequent attacks of migraine without hemiparesis. The headache occurs in both sporadic and familial forms. Usually beginning in childhood, sometimes as early as 1-2years and generally ceasing in adulthood. The hemiplegia is usually part of the aura and may last an hour or longer. Headache follows the hemiplegia or may occur with it. There is a male predominance. CSF pleocytosis may be present (predominantly PMN's). Cerebral angiography performed during the hemiparetic attacks are usually unremarkable although constriction of the internal carotic and basilar arteries have been seen.

Extractions: Abstract Recent reports suggest that Botulinum toxin type A may help patients suffering from chronic pain disorders. We report a unique case of a 47 year old woman with hemiplegic migraine responding to botulinum toxin type A injections. There is increasing evidence that botulinum toxin type A may be a useful treatment for severe headaches and migraines. To our knowledge this is the first case report of its successful use in sporadic hemiplegic migraine. Case report A 44 year old woman was referred to a tertiary neuropsychiatric centre by her GP with disabling headaches. At the age of 41 she developed episodes of severe headache for the first time which gradually increased in severity. There was no family history of migraine. Episodes would start with nausea for 30 to 60 minutes followed by a pain in her forehead which could be right or left sided and occasionally bilateral and which spread gradually to the back of her head and down her neck. She also had mild photophobia, phonophobia and prostration. She often would notice "a cloudy film" over her vision but no classic migrainous visual disturbances. She described headaches as "horrendous" like "a tightening band" around her head. They occurred at any time of the day but often were present when she awakened. Simple analgesics were largely ineffective in reducing the pain.
Familial Hemiplegic Migraines To be termed a familial hemiplegic migraine, the sufferer must have symptoms of hemiparesis or a pins and needles feeling on one side or limb of the body. http://www.msu.edu/user/espino11/familia.htm
Extractions: Familial hemiplegic migraines Familial hemiplegic migraines are associated with severe headache pain and a gradual onset of unilateral weakness or heaviness. To be termed a familial hemiplegic migraine, the sufferer must have symptoms of hemiparesis or a pins and needles feeling on one side or limb of the body. This type of migraine could completely resolve in minutes or last several hours, but the hemiparises will last hours or days beyond the headache itself. It is also very typical that the hemiparesis may being evfen before the headache attack. A complicated hemiplegic attack also occurs, where the weakness may last up to two weeks or may never resolve entirely. A familial hemiplegic migraine is ususally inherited from the mother and the affected side of the body in most instances is associated with dysphasia and other cortical symtoms. Becuase of ischaemic changes in the cerebrum and brainstem, deaths due to familial hemiplegic migraines have been recorded. Back to Main Page
The Migraine Gene The Migraine Gene. Overview. The familial hemiplegic migraine, FHM, a subtype of migraine with aura, has been mapped to chromosome 19p13. http://www.msu.edu/user/espino11/genetics.htm
Extractions: The Migraine Gene Overview The familial hemiplegic migraine, FHM, a subtype of migraine with aura, has been mapped to chromosome 19p13. Brain-secifif P/Q-type calcium-channel alpha -subunit gene, CACNA1A is identified in the responsible region of 47 exons covering 300 kb. The familial hemiplegic migraine is the result of a missense mutation in the alpha subunit. In the sequencing of all the exons and their corresponding surroundings, a polymorphic variation is revealed, including a (CA) n -repeat and a (CAG) n -repeat in the 3' untranslated region. In the familial hemiplegic migraine, four missense mutations were discovered in conserved functional domains and one of the mutations has occurred in two different unrelated families of hemiplegic migraines. FHM is a rare autosomal dominant subtype migraine with aura and is associated within some families with progressive cerebellar atrophy and ictal hemiparesis. The cerebellar atrophy was found in FHM is linked to the chromosome 19p13. The region that contains chromosome 19p13 FHM locus is also involved with migraines with or without auras. This adds to the hypothesis that FHM is part of the migraine spectrum involving biological mechanisms and similar genetic factors.
Extractions: Links BAM and Migraine Variants Though BAM is a migraine variant, and therefore technically belongs under the classification of "migraine," a BAM attack can also represent a form of "acute cerebral vascular insufficiency." The other forms of migraine variant are (1) retinal migraine, (2) opthalmoplegic migraine, (3) hemiplegic migraine, (4) facial migraine, and (5) migrainous infarction. Of these, only hemiplegic migraine has been found to be a dominant characteristic in terms of heritability in families. Hemiplegic migraine is also the only form of migraine for which a gene has been located. It is a gene located on chromosome 19 that carries the trait for hemiplegic migraine. Hemiplegia can develop either before or during a migraine. Though Basilar Artery Migraine is certainly a distinct form of migraine variant, BAM patients can exhibit the signs of hemiplegic migraine.
