It is the second leading cause of primary headaches, and often afflicts individuals between the ages of 25-45. It is a neurological illness with biological changes (see causes) that often start in childhood. The number and severity of attacks decline after age 45. There are two types of migraines: migraine with aura (15%) and migraine without aura (85%). An aura is a warning sign (see symptoms) that often precedes the headache. In a small number of patients with this condition, the lower portion of the brain (brain stem) is involved (i.e., basilar migraine).

Extractions: HOME INDEX OF ARTICLES E-MAIL PRESCRIPTIONS YOUR PRACTICE Consultation times Appointments Home Visits Out of Hours Emergencies ... Practice Staff Dizziness is a difficult symptom. It is a term used by patients to describe a feeling alien to them for which they cannot find a more exact description. The doctor's first job is to clarify what the patient means by dizziness. Have a look through these questions. Most patients with a true vertigo immediately recognise this is what they mean. However, some patients may need clarification - for example comparing the feeling to getting off a roundabout or merry-go-round, or if you stop suddenly after spinning round and round. If this is the sensation is it continuous or intermittent? Is it associated with nausea and vomiting? Do any activities make it worse? Is there any relationship to movement. Do you have any problems with your hearing? Do you get a headache after the dizziness? Patients with a clear history of positionally related vertigo almost always have benign positional vertigo. The vertigo is brief (less than one minute), triggered by movement, reduces with repeated movement and is usually associated with nausea or, if severe, occasionally vomiting. In some patients this syndrome can follow head injury. Examination is normal with the exception of Hallpike's manoeuvre (see below). This syndrome is usually easily recognisable and your doctor can make a confident diagnosis on clinical findings alone.

Extractions: MENIERES AND MIGRAINES Neurotology of Migraine Robert W. Baloh, MD Migraine is a disease characterized by periodic headaches, but patients often experience other symptoms including dizziness and hearing loss and, in some, these can be the only symptoms. Since most patients equate migraine with headache, it can be difficult to convince them that symptoms other than headache are due to migraine. Comments such as "But, doctor, I don't have a 'migraine' with my dizziness" or "I came to see you because of my dizziness. I haven't had a migraine for at least a year" are common in our Neurotology Clinic. Until we understand the pathophysiology of migraine, it will remain difficult to educate patients and their physicians on the relationship between migraine and neurotologic symptoms. Furthermore, there is debate as to whether migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) are distinct syndromes, different manifestations of the same disorder, or part of a continuum. Patients can have both types of attacks (with and without aura), and not infrequently, both types of migraine run in the same family (see below). The headache phases of both types of migraine are almost identical, and the same treatments are usually effective for both types of migraine. Conversely, certain epidemiological characteristics, overall familial aggregation, and varying pathophysiologic findings suggest that these two types of migraine may be separate entities.

Extractions: Advanced Search Two new intranasal migraine medications, sumatriptan and dihydroergotamine mesylate, may offer specific advantages for patients who are seeking alternatives to various oral or parenteral migraine abortive therapies. Placebo-controlled clinical studies demonstrate that both intranasal forms are effective in relieving migraine headache pain, but published clinical trial information comparing these two intranasal medications with current abortive therapies is lacking. Both agents are generally well tolerated by patients, with the exception of mild, local adverse reactions of the nose and throat. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:180-6.) M igraine headaches are fairly common in the general population: 17.6 percent of women and 5.7 percent of men have one or more migraine headaches per year. Because of the episodic nature of migraine attacks, treatment options that rapidly and effectively minimize pain are needed. Although nonpharmacologic interventions play a role in headache management, most migraine patients seek relief with medication. Approximately 95 percent of patients with severe migraine take some medication (prescription or over-the-counter) for their headaches.

Migraine Headache Types: Classic, Common, And Others It only presents itself in individuals with a history of migraine attacks. basilarArtery This specific type involves the basilar artery in the brainstem, and http://www.migraine-facts.com/html/migraine_types.php3
Extractions: Migraine with aura is often referred to as "classic." Less than half an hour before the actual pain begins, the individual experiences "aura." Aura usually involves visual sensory illusions, such as jagged bands of light obscuring vision, or a shimmering light around the edges of objects. Other senses, such as hearing and smell, may also be affected. Common among migraine sufferers, rebound headaches occur when pain medication is overused. Overuse causes the body to become resistant to the medication, so to be effective larger doses are required, leading to even further resistance. The result is often more frequent headaches or a worsening of existing symptoms. Rebound headaches are possible if medication for treatment or prevention of headaches is used three or more times a week. During an ocular migraine, the blood vessels of the eyes, rather than those of the skull or brainstem, spasm and instead of pain, the sufferer becomes aware of lights in the peripheral vision. Often jagged and pastel colored in nature, the light disturbance intensifies, and enlarges until it is centered in the eye. Ocular migraines typically fade away after about fifteen to twenty minutes. Some people report a mild headache after this experience, while others simply feel fatigued.
Migraine Chapter, Basilar, B.Todd Troost basilar artery migraine is not a separate category in the new IHS classification,however, it is described separately because of its clinical manifestations. http://imigraine.net/migraine/basilarm.html
Extractions: The visual symptoms described included vivid flashes of light throughout the entire visual field, intense enough to obscure vision completely, and sudden bilateral visual loss occurring over seconds and persisting up to 15 minutes, with a gradual return of vision to normal. None of these patients had their symptoms of brainstem ischemia accompanied by the characteristic fortification spectra of classic migraine. The patient had cyclic vomiting and car-sickness as a young girl. At age 20 she had episodes of bilateral loss of vision associated with vertigo, but no headaches or other migrainous symptoms. At age 21, and twice at age 23, she became unconscious without warning. Two attacks occurred in a brightly lighted environment while she was standing at the foot of an upward moving elevator. The third attack occurred at home while she was reading quietly. In each attack she suddenly lost vision and quickly became unconscious, slumping to the floor. Upon awakening she had severe, generalized throbbing headache, nausea, and vomiting. Truncal ataxia was severe and lasted 15 minutes. Her father had common migraine and her mother had classic migraine. At age 24, photic stimulation during an EEG induced a fourth attack similar to the others.

Extractions: Overview A migraine is a throbbing or pulsating headache that is often unilateral (one sided) and associated with nausea; vomiting; sensitivity to light, sound, and smells; sleep disruption; and depression. Attacks are often recurrent and tend to become less severe as the migraine sufferer ages. Types Migraines afflict about 24 million people in the United States. They may occur at any age, but usually begin between the ages of 10 and 40 and diminish after age 50. Some people experience several migraines a month, while others have only a few migraines throughout their lifetime. Approximately 75% of migraine sufferers are women.
