Basilar migraines Some types of migraine are known for particularly wild and crazy symptoms, and basilar migraines certainly fall into that category! What are they, where do they come from, and for crying out loud when are they leaving?! Basilar migraines are known for their strange aura symptoms . Sometimes the strange visual aura can be two sided, and can be so bad it leads to temporary blindness. It's usually followed by incoordination (ataxia), double vision, vertigo, ringing in the ears, jerky eye movements, trouble hearing, slurred speech, and more severe versions of other migraine symptoms, such as nausea, prickly feelings on the body, sensitivity to light and/or sound, and trouble thinking clearly. This stage of the headache usually lasts about 5-60 minutes, but can last days in some cases. Usually there's a severe throbbing headache at the back of the head on both sides (as opposed to the more common migraine symptom of one-sided headache, often in the temples). Where do basilar migraines come from? The basilar artery is in the back of your head, and it was believed that the basilar artery migraine had its start in the basilar artery. Many years ago researchers thought that the main roots of migraine in general came from the expanding and contracting of blood vessels.

Migraine Migraine is more than just a bad headache. In fact, some people get migraine without any headache at all! The cause of migraine is still a mystery. The research to date seems to indicate that migraine is a neurological disease based on an inherited genetic abnormality. A cause of migraine symptoms is usually called a "trigger". A trigger is what starts the chain reaction, usually leading to migraine headaches. If you've heard much about migraine, you may have heard about various things that happen to the body -

Review Acupuncture AcupunctureToday Massage Therapy MassageToday SpaTherapy Nutrition NutritionalWellness Neurology Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Basilar Migraine Basilar migraine was described by Bickerstaff in 1961 as a rare variant of migraine which frequently affects young women and girls and bears a strong relationship with menses.1 The condition is also known as basilar artery migraine, Bickerstaff's migraine, and syncopal migraine. Migraine literature also groups basilar migraine in with hemiplegic migraine and ophthalmoplegic migraine under the heading of "complicated migraines." Basilar migraine has since been shown to affect all age groups and both sexes with the usual migraine female predominance.2 The basilar migraine has been described by the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society as "a migraine with aura symptoms clearly originating from the brainstem or from both occipital lobes." The aura phase of the migraine is due to transient brainstem and cerebellar ischemia, which can be mistaken for a transient ischemic attack of the vertebrobasilar circulation. The symptoms noted in the aura phase of the basilar artery migraine are the result of a combination of disturbances in the cerebellum, brainstem, and occipital lobes, which generally last for less than one hour. The aura phase usually begins with a bilateral disturbance of vision that may occasionally progress to temporary blindness. Visual symptoms are followed by varying combinations of ataxia, dysarthria, bilateral vertigo, tinnitus, changing levels of consciousness, bilateral paresthesias of the limbs, face, and tongue, and quadriparesis. Other brainstem- related symptoms less commonly noted include nystagmus, diplopia, and decreases in hearing.1-9

It occurs most frequently in young women. Dizziness, double vision, loss of balance, confusion, slurred speech, fainting and disorientation can occur. During the acute headache, some lose consciousness. Often these patients are mistakenly thought to be intoxicated, under the influence of drugs, or suffering from other conditions. A previous history of migraine is helpful in making the diagnosis.

9. National Headache Foundation: Complicated Migraine There is basilar migraine, which used to be called Bickerstaffís syndrome. The headaches in basilar migraine are often at the back of the head and may http://www.headaches.org/consumer/topicsheets/complicatedmigrane.html

Consumer Topics Medications Spanish Topics COMPLICATED MIGRAINE The aura of migraine typically lasts from 20 minutes to an hour. Some patients have prolonged aura symptoms that can last hours to days. The aura also typically ends before the headache itself begins. When migraine aura symptoms are prolonged or last into or through the headache phase these types of migraine are commonly referred to as complicated migraines. There are several forms of these complicated migraine attacks. There is opthalmoplegic migraine where patients develop a partial or complete paralysis of the nerves that are needed for eye movement. There is retinal migraine where the patientís visual symptoms occur from the retina itself versus the portion of the brain involved in vision, as is the case for the typical migraine aura. There is hemiplegic migraine, which can be inherited and has been linked to one of several chromosomes. Patients develop stroke-like symptoms with sensory and/or loss of strength of muscles. There is basilar migraine, which used to be called Bickerstaffís syndrome. Here patients start with a typical migraine aura then progress to developing neurological symptoms related to the bases of the brain called the brainstem. Unlike typical migraine attacks where numbness can occur on one side of the body, in this form both sides are affected. The headaches in basilar migraine are often at the back of the head and may have very severe vomiting as part of it. In all these forms there seems to be an increased risk of the migraine producing permanent neurological changes that do not go away and may also correlate with changes on the MRI scan like those seen in stroke. Medications such as the beta-blockers, triptans and ergots are often avoided in these types of headaches for fear of increasing the risk of stroke. Calcium blockers and antiepileptic drugs seem to be best for prevention. Smoking, the use of hormones in menopause and birth control pills are avoided as well, again to decrease the risk of long-term problems.

1.2.4 Basilar Migraine Previously used terms: Basilar artery migraine, Bickerstaff's migraine, syncopal migraine. Description: Migraine with aura symptoms clearly originating from the brain stem or from both occipital lobes. Diagnostic Criteria: A. Fulfills criteria for 1.2 B. Two or more aura symptoms of the following types: Visual symptoms in both the temporal and nasal fields of both eyes. Dysarthria Vertigo Tinnitus Decreased hearing Double vision Ataxia Bilateral paresthesias Bilateral pareses Decreased level of consciousness Comments: Many of the symptoms listed under the diagnostic criteria are subject to misinterpretation as they may occur with anxiety and hyperventilation. The symptoms due to brainstem function, such as vertigo, dysarthria, diplopia occur as the only neurologic symptoms of the attack in 25 percent of patients with basilar migraine. Bickerstaff described a typical sequence of neurological events that involved total blindness and sensorial clouding that was seen frequently in adolescent women. He indicated that the headache episodes began with total blindness and would be accompanied or followed by various combinations of vertigo, ataxia, dysarthria, tinnitus, and distal /perioral paresthesias. Often the patients experience a state of confusion. These symptoms often persist for 20 to 30 minutes and are generally followed by a throbbing occipital headache. The altered sensorial effects may last up to 5 days and be marked by confusion. Originally the term basilar artery migraine was used but since spasm of the basilar artery may not be the mechanism of the attacks, the term basilar migraine is preferred. Many cases have basilar attacks intermingled with attacks with typical aura. Basilar attacks are mostly seen in young adults.

Emotional Cause of Migraines The Back of the Head (basilar migraine) Migraine Headache Treatment: Focus on the colour pink. Visualize pink surrounding your head, neck and shoulders. Pink represents unconditional love and kindness. It soothes unwanted aggression and irritation. Try a Pink Colour Therapy Bath , pink clothing, pink sheets and pillow cases. Recognize what event in your life with family members may have triggered this pain - a phone call, family function, visit with relatives etc. What part of this situation was negative or caused stress? What was your lesson with that situation? What emotions do you need to let go of – anger, guilt, judgement? Use a journal to write these emotions down. This is a form of release. What feelings do you not want to own anymore? What can you do the next time to avoid these negative emotions? How can you respond more positively? Use the essential oil of Rose to encourage the senses to bring calmness to the day. Pure essential oil dropped on a tissue and sniffed frequently will help.
