"Lower half" headache Definition Etiology unknown. Appears to be related to disordered brain physiology. Up to 70% of patients have a positive family history for headache. Frequently, the headache is an abnormal response to stress. The aura may be secondary to cerebral vasospasm; the head pain may be a result of activation of the trigeminovascular system. Age of onset

Extractions: MIGRAINE WITH PROLONGED AURA AND MIGRAINOUS INFARCTIONS In the new classification of migraine, Subtype 1.6 indicates complications of migraine. This would include all of the permanent defects discussed in this section. 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 or . 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

Extractions: A friend of the family who happens to be a neurologist(but has not seen any of her results) suggested it may have been a hemipeligic migraine. Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know much about hemipeligic migraines? How long with these functional-impairments last? Is there anything that one could do to help someone with a hemipeligic migraine? Someone in her family should have it, if it really is Hemiplegic Migraines. From the way you describe it, the severity would dictate that she probablly should have stayed for a wee bit longer under observation. But then again that could be a matter of how you reacted to it and how you were worried about her.

Baylor Neurology Case Of The Month presentation suggested a TIA, embolic stroke, or complex partial seizure with a postictal paralysis (though one might also consider a hemiplegic migraine). http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/neurol/challeng/pat27/summary.html
Extractions: Diagnosis: Ischemic stroke secondary to postinfectious focal varicella vasculitis Patient #27 presented with the sudden onset of transient inability to talk accompanied by left-sided weakness. These episodes lasted only 30 to 60 seconds and subsequently resolved (with the exception of the last episode, which left a sustained deficit). The distribution of involvement (face, arm and leg) suggests a subcortical process, though the inability to talk suggests cortical involvement. However, the finding of left-sided weakness associated with a true aphasia would be very unusual unless the person in question was left-handed and the lesion/process involved subcortical as well as cortical structures (in other words, a large stroke). Speech arrest can be seen with sudden neurological deficits in several areas including non-dominant subcortical regions, but the speech arrest is usually transient as in this case. The child's initial clinical presentation suggested a TIA, embolic stroke, or complex partial seizure with a post-ictal paralysis (though one might also consider a hemiplegic migraine). Stroke in the young is often the result of an underlying metabolic abnormality or overwhelming intercurrent illness. Focal seizures may result from structural abnormalities, stroke, or a parasitic infection such as neurocysticercosis, among others. As the child's illness progressed, and results of the laboratory studies and radiographic images became available, the differential diagnosis was narrowed.

Extractions: Our research currently focusses on two major topics: Physiology, pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutic potential of L-type calcium channels Role of Cav2.1 calcium channels for migraine pathophysiology 1. Physiology, pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutic potential of L-type calcium channels In this project the physiological role and the biophysical properties of Ca v 1.3 and Ca v 1.4 L-type calcium channels will be investigated. These channels are present at much lower abundance in most neuronal, endocrine and muscle cells than other L-type channel subunits. Interestingly, the biophysical properties of Cav1.3 allow it to serve pacemaker functions in brain and heart. The effects of alternative splicing on channel function, its modulation by neurotransmitters, enzymes and drugs and its expression in different tissues will be studied. The consequences of its gene-knockout have been described by us recently. The knockout mice deserve further characterization and provide a nice model to investigate the physiological role of this channel. A novel mouse model has recently been generated by our group which will allow to determine which pharmacological effect selective activation of Ca

Extractions: Dr. Casari said their research demonstrated that mutations of the alpha 2 subunit of the sodium-potassium pump are responsible for FHM2. "Functional data show that a putative pathogenetic mechanism is triggered by a loss of function of a single allele of the sodium potassium pump," Dr. Casari reported. Commenting on the report in her summary of the day's most significant papers, Marie-Germaine Bousser, MD, department of neurology, Lariboisière Hospital, Paris, France, called the presentation the "highlight of [the] day" and an "important finding" that links loss of genetic function to this inherited form of migraine.

Extractions: Summary: A Double-Blind, Dose Comparison Study of an Investigational Drug in Pediatric Subjects Between the Ages of 6 and 18 years with Basilar/Hemiplegic Migraine Headaches We are currently conducting a research study for children and adolescents with Basilar/Hemiplegic Migraine Headaches. Children and adolescents who suffer from Basilar/Hemiplegic Migraine Headaches typically experience occasional moderate to severe headaches, pounding in nature, often accompanied by nausea or vomiting and discomfort caused by light or sound. In addition to these symptoms they will typically experience two or more of the following symptoms: vertigo, double vision, decreased hearing, numbness, and altered level of consciousness. In between their headaches these youngsters are usually symptom free and healthy. If this describes your adolescent, he or she may be eligible for this research study. To be eligible to participate, your adolescent must: All study related clinic visits, testing, and study medications are provided at no cost.
