Other people find that their Migraines are much less painful, and that they are able to go back to their normal activities even though their headaches are not completely gone. Naratriptan often relieves symptoms that occur together with a migraine headache, such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound. contraindications: presence or risk factors for coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension

    Extractions: I included this page in order to inform (very briefly) about Basilar Migraine, an extremely unknown disease that spoilt some years of my life mainly due to the fact that it is that unknown: losing important brain functions (including vision and the ability to walk and speak) all of sudden without anybody having an idea why, is not very amusing... The information provided here is based on extensive research. Nevertheless, the brevity of the description makes it inevitable to highlight selected aspects and theories while completely omitting others. Basilar Migraine (originally named Basilar Artery Migraine), was first described in 1961 by the Birmingham Neurologist E.D. Bickerstaff in a short article in The Lancet BM attacks are believed to develop in the cerebral vertebrobasilar system. The vertebrobasilar system (made up from several interconnected arteries) is one of the two main systems that transport blood to and within the brain. Roughly speaking, it supplies the lower back part of the brain with oxygen - among others the brainstem and the cerebellum.

    Extractions: Prevalence in Ireland What is migraine? Is your headache a migraine?- a quick questionnaire Types of Migraine ... Causes of migraine Survey data suggests that at least 400,000 people suffer from migraine in Ireland. It is estimated that migraine costs Irish businesses £33 million every year as a result of lost productivity with the average migraineur missing between 1.5 and 4.5 days annually from work. Despite these staggering figures migraine remains a misunderstood and under managed condition. Migraine is generally a one-sided headache (hemicrania) which is episodic, lasts hours or even days with total freedom between attacks. Migraine has been likened to a power cut, as the whole body seems to shut down until the attack is over. An attack of migraine can be very frightening. The onset of classical migraine may be signalled by visual disturbances in what is called the "aura" stage, this affects about 10-20% of migraineurs. Common migraine (or migraine without aura) and classical migraine may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, confusion and in rare cases temporary paralysis and loss of speech. Sensitivity to light, noise and strong smells is frequently reported. If an ordinary headache feels like a constant pressure or tightness round the head, it is probably a tension headache. A cup of tea and a lie down, or a couple of simple painkilling tablets, may do the trick. However if you experience severe headaches, especially ones that do not respond to ordinary painkillers you should see your doctor. If the headache lasts more than a day or keeps coming back, you may have migraine and your doctor will be able to prescribe a specific treatment. Migraine is not the only cause of severe headache, however, and if you are having problems and are concerned, it is always best to see your doctor.

    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: complex migraines, migraine equivalent, familial hemiplegic migraine, basilar migraine, benign coital migraine, ophthalmoplegic migraine, retinal migraine, cyclic vomiting syndrome, acute confusional migraine, abdominal migraine Background: Many conditions exist under the rubric of “migraine variant.” Migraine variants (MVs) generally are paroxysmal disorders, which include either headache as a prominent feature among a collection of symptoms or occurrence in individuals who have a personal or family history of migraine. MVs occur more frequently in children and adolescents than in adults; they may precede the development of more typical migraines in adulthood. MVs are less recognized, less understood, and far less common than migraines; consequently, little population-based data are available describing the incidence or prevalence of MVs. Few randomized, controlled trials exist that describe efficacious treatments for these unusual entities. Recognition of MV is important, since many respond to typical antimigraine medications. Also, the clinical presentation of MV may suggest ominous disease processes which can lead to extensive and invasive diagnostic evaluations that may not be warranted. MVs include the following: Familial hemiplegic migraine Basilar migraine Benign coital headache Ophthalmoplegic migraine Retinal migraine Alternating hemiplegic migraine (primarily in childhood)

    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: Return to table of contents H OW D O P HYSICIAN M IGRAINEURS T REAT M IGRAINE At the Headache World 2000 conference, Randolph W. Evans, MD, of the University of Texas at Houston Medical School and Baylor College of Medicine, and Richard B. Lipton, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City, outlined the results of their survey of 42 headache specialists who attended an April 2000 meeting, in New Orleans, for the faculty of the Neurology Ambassador Program. SELF-SELECTED SPECIALITIES? Of the 33 participants who responded, 24 were male. The mean age was 51 for men, 43 for women. The mean number of years in practice was 20 for men, 10 for women. Within the previous year, 50% of the men and 67% of the women had attacks that fit the International Headache Society definition of migraine. "I was astonished that the prevalence of migraine was so high," commented Dr. Lipton. Two subsequent studies confirmed this high prevalence among neurologists specializing in headache. "To some extent, it may be that people self-select" in choosing their medical specialty, Dr. Lipton acknowledged. However, when neurologists were asked about their migraines, their responses indicated that half had migraine before deciding to specialize, and the remaining half developed migraine after choosing their specialty. Final results of the two expanded studies of approximately 1,000 attendees of the Neurology Ambassador Program and a sample of American Academy of Neurology members are currently being analyzed.

    Extractions: How do I know if I have... A Migraine Headache Tension-type Headaches Cluster Headaches Sinus Headaches A Brain Tumor Although it is not uncommon for children to suffer from headaches, all too often a child's headache complaints are dismissed by parents and pediatricians. This is especially true when an adult in the family also suffers from headache. In these situations there is a tendency to assume that the child is imitating a family member or is just seeking attention. In families where there are no headache sufferers, the child's headache is often attributed to school phobia, stress, or malingering. Migraine is quite common during the childhood years. More than 8 million children and adolescents suffer from migraine resulting in greater than one million lost school days each year. Childhood migraine differs from adult migraine in a number of ways: Prior to puberty boys get migraine as often as girls; after puberty girls suffer from migraine more frequently

    Extractions: avec l'aide de FreeFind haut de page Introduction : Diencephalic epilepsy displays itself as an automatic and autonomic seizure accompanied or not by headaches. Among the causes for this disorder one has to exclude tumors or vascular malformation. It is not always possible to differenciate this disorder from basilar migraine that can also be accompanied by seizures automatism and EEG-abnormalities. However in basilar migraine sometimes a specific vertebro-basilar spasticity demonstrated in angiogram can serve as an indication for proper diagnosis. Often no pathological structure can be found in the so called diencephalic epilepsy. This kind of epilepsy and the basilar migraine benefit of common antiepileptic drugs. A new light was shed on the subcortical origin of epileptic activity by the finding thar 5-endorphin neurons and receptors localized in the thalamo-hypo-thalamic regions may be involved in the generation of epileptic-activiry. Based on these data we tried to treat a patient who suffered from diencephalic epilepsy with carbamezapine, and Naloxon HCL
