    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: abdominal migraine, acute confusional migraine, basilar migraine, benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, cyclic vomiting of childhood, hemiplegic migraine, migraine, migraine aura without headache, ophthalmoplegic migraine, vascular headache Background: Migraine in children may be similar to adult presentations and include headache, with or without aura, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and relief with sleep. 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.

    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

Back up Disease of the Month - Abdominal Migraine What is it? Migraine I hear you cry has something to do with headaches and nothing to do with the tummy. In fact abdominal migraine is associated with headaches and is very common with over 10% of all children suffering from it. It is diagnosed by there being at least three episodes of abdominal pain with no cause being identified. This usually involves excluding conditions such as urinary tract infections or gastro-enteritis. The symptoms usually begin at the age of 5 years and may continue throughout the school years. Not surprisingly it is believed that it is caused by anxiety and usually an attack is triggered by something that has happened at school. What are the symptoms?

    Extractions: March 1999 How to detect and treat this "hidden" disorder IRENE WORTHINGTON, B.Sc.(Pharm.) About 200,000 to 300,000 children in Canada, some as young as 12 months of age, suffer from migraine. The presence of migraine is often not recognized in children; in fact, a surprising number of physicians do not know that migraine can occur in children. Although Canadian guidelines have recently been published for the management of migraine in adults, there are no Canadian guidelines for managing pediatric patients, and few clinical trials dealing with the treatment of pediatric migraine. (Guidelines for the treatment of migraine in pediatric and adolescent patients have been published recently by the Italian Society for the Study of Headache.) Internet sites for pediatric headaches Pediatric headaches are becoming a hot topic on most of the headache sites online. Most give parents some information on the different types of headaches as well as some treatment recommendations. National Headache Foundation: Headaches and Children

48. Migraines
    This is often called abdominal migraine or cyclic vomiting. Some individualswith migraine will experience intense dizziness without obvious headache.  
    http://childrenshosp-richmond.org/families/health/migraines.htm
    
    Extractions: Migraine is a medical term that refers to the tendency to have recurrent symptoms related to changes in blood vessel diameter in the head. Most migraines have headache as a prominent feature of the problem. Not all migraines, however, produce headache. What are the symptoms of migraine? Approximately how many children are affected? In order to diagnose migraine a child must have recurrent headaches or other neurological symptoms separated by symptom-free intervals and at least three of the following: pounding or throbbing pain one sided pain association with nausea or vomiting or abdominal discomfort relief by sleep family history of migraine other associated neurological problems such as vision disturbance or weakness or unusual sensations About 10 percent of the adult population experience recurrent migraine symptoms. This probably underestimates the true incidence of migraine in that some individuals have symptoms so infrequently that they are not counted. As well as we know, children are equally as affected with migraine as adults. There is a tendency for migraine symptoms to run in families.

    Extractions: In cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), people experience bouts or cycles of severe nausea and vomiting that last for hours or even days and alternate with longer periods of no symptoms. CVS occurs mostly in children, but the disorder can affect adults, too. CVS has no known cause. Each episode is similar to the previous ones. The episodes tend to start at about the same time of day, last the same length of time, and present the same symptoms at the same level of intensity. Although CVS can begin at any age in children and adults, it usually starts between the ages of 3 and 7. In adults, episodes tend to occur less often than they do in children, but they last longer. Furthermore, the events or situations that trigger episodes in adults cannot always be pinpointed as easily as they can in children. Episodes can be so severe that a person may have to stay in bed for days, unable to go to school or work. No one knows for sure how many people have CVS, but medical researchers believe that more people may have the disorder than is commonly thought (as many as 1 in 50 children in one study). Because other more common diseases and disorders also cause cycles of vomiting, many people with CVS are initially misdiagnosed until the other disorders can be ruled out. What is known is that CVS can be disruptive and frightening not just to people who have it, but to the entire family as well.

    http://www.tensionheadaches.com/definitions.html
    
    Extractions: Cluster headaches are one-sided headaches that usually occur in or around one eye. They are typically of short duration, usually lasting several minutes to several hours at the most. They are named "cluster" because they occur in a group or series. The patient has tearing of the eye, nasal congestion, facial flushing, and constriction of the pupil on the side of the headache. The series may last several months, occurring more frequently in the fall and spring, and the headaches may disappear for several months or several years. Some forms of cluster headaches, however, occur chronically. There are several kinds of migraine headaches. They include: Abdominal migraine - a type of migraine in which the pain is over the upper part of the abdomen and lasts a few hours. It is most common in female children. Diagnosis is easily made because of the family history of migraine, the infrequency of the attacks, and the frequent simultaneous occurrence of headache. If it remains undiagnosed, however, the patient may be subjected to unnecessary surgery for abdominal complaints. Basilar artery migraine - a type of migraine that can occur in younger people, with the headache most often limited to the back of the head. The symptoms are caused by a diminished blood supply to the parts of the brain supplied by the basilar artery. Besides nausea, patients may have double-vision, unsteady gait, slurred speech and may seem confused. During the headache, many lose consciousness. Often these patients are mistakenly thought to be drunk or mentally ill. A previous history of migraine is helpful in making the diagnosis.

    Extractions: Digestive Center; Solving Common Problems Alpha Nutrition Health Education Digestive Symptoms Nutritional Rescue Crohn's Disease Irritable Bowel Syndrome Celiac Disease ... Alpha Nutrition Digestive symptoms are among the most common complaints presenting in primary medical practice. The interpretation and treatment of these symptoms has sometimes been based on misunderstanding how the gastrointestinal tract responds to food. The gastrointestinal tract is a sensing, reactive device that monitors the material flowing through it. Symptoms arising from this system provide information about its dysfunction. Seven basic symptoms alert the patient to gastrointestinal tract displeasure with food choices - nausea, heartburn, vomiting, bloating, pain, constipation and diarrhea. Over-the-counter medications for gastrointestinal tract symptoms is a multi-billion dollar industry and patients often self-medicate when symptoms are mild or infrequent. Patients may first present with acute abdominal pain either in the office or emergency room and require an expensive work-up to rule out more serious disease. Ulcer pain tends to be distinctive with discrete pain localized to the epigastrium, and increased with an empty stomach, waking the patient at night and the pain is relieved by food and antacids. Other abdominal pain can be more difficult to assess.

    Extractions: Migraine and Other Headaches Children do suffer migraine headaches with severe pain, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and light intolerance. Abdominal migraine presents in a similar way, except the pain is in the abdomen rather than the head. The axiom that 80% of migraine comes through the mouth should apply. Most migraine suffers have true food allergy and are not just responding to biochemical triggers. Chocolate confections are a common cause of migraine, and normal food components - milk, wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, eggs, peanuts, soya, almonds, cashews, oranges, and salmon - are all headache triggers. "Tension headaches" or generalized head-pain, associated with increased neck, scalp, and facial muscle tone and tenderness, and often associated with irritability and impairment of cognitive function, are also often caused by ingested substances and not "stress" or "tension". The muscle tension and soreness associated with these headaches is often an effect of the underlying biochemical cause of the pain and not a cause of it. Brief Note on Delayed Pattern Food Allergy In this section we are discussing delayed food allergy, not the more obvious immediate food allergic reactions.

    Extractions: Headache is only one of the symptoms of a migraine attack. There are almost always other symptoms which may be different in different migraine sufferers. There are two main types of migraine: migraine with aura (classic migraine) and migraine without aura (common migraine). Basilar migraine is a form of migraine with aura in which the patient suffers brain-stem symptoms such as vertigo, diplopia (double vision), slurred speech, weakness, imbalance, even blindness. It is more common in young people but is not very common. A type of migraine in which the vision in one eye is almost completely abolished. Rarely, permanent blindness results. Occurs in children with belly pain instead of headache, superimposed on nausea and vomiting. Often confuses their doctors, who understandibly suspect an abdominal process causing these symptoms, not migraine. A common variant where the migraine attacks occur primarily just prior to or during the menstrual period.
