So-called ophthalmoplegic “migraine” has now been changed in the official Classification of Headache of the International Headache Society. This is because many reports have shown abnormalities of the ocular motor nerve using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children with recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia fulfilling the previous criteria for ophthalmoplegic “migraine.” It is now believed that all modern cases show MRI enhancement of the third nerve which may represent a type of inflammation and, therefore, more characteristic of what is seen with facial nerve palsy than with any form of migraine. In this rare variety of what was formerly termed “complicated migraine,” the headaches were associated with ocular motor nerve palsies. Usually the ophthalmoplegia is transient; however, it can become permanent especially after repeated attacks. Major controversy has surrounded the diagnostic and nosologic position of ophthalmoplegic “migraine” since its initial recognition in the mid 1880s. Until the l930s and 1940s when angiography was introduced and practiced, it was impossible in many cases to rule out aneurysms and other lesions in the vicinity of the cavernous sinus. Multiple etiologies were cited as underlying causes of ophthalmoplegic “migraine," including aneurysm, basilar arachnoiditis, and tumors; indeed, many physicians believed that no separate clinical syndrome of ophthalmoplegic migraine existed, but that all patients had specific organic lesions.

more about Ophthalmoplegic Migraine

  • This is a rare variety of Migraine Headache often involving symptoms associated with the paresis of the third, fourth and sixth cranial nerves. In a majority of the cases, this condition occurs in childhood, with cases ranging from infants to adolescents. The third cranial nerve is the one affected most.

What are eye migraines?
They're commonly called eye migraines , but they're actually a group of different types of migraine, including ocular migraines (or occular), ophthalmic migraines , a type of silent or acephalgic migraine , and even ophthalmoplegic migraines . Confused? Don't worry, you'll see it all clearly in a moment (oops, sorry!)... First, you need to remember that pain is only one possible symptom of migraine see the article on symptoms ). Other symptoms include nausea, congestion, and visual symptoms. Silent migraine or acephalgic migraine is migraine without the headache.
Eye migraines – silent migraine:
If this is you, you may be getting strange visual disturbances , usually lasting less than an hour, but no headache. You likely have a type of migraine, which needs to be treated in basically the same way as any other type of migraine. However, you do need to make sure you see a good doctor so that she can rule out other problems that can do permanent damage.
Eye migraines – Occular migraines:
Ocular or retinal migraines are quite rare. You get partial (retinal) or complete (ocular) blindness, usually in just one eye. This disturbance lasts less than an hour. Sometimes it comes with a headache, sometimes it doesn't. The headache (often a dull ache behind the affected eye) usually happens afterwards, but can happen before or even during (our bodies are so unpredictable!). This type of migraine varies with which artery is being hit.

Definition
Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a form of severe headache that is felt around the eye.
What is going on in the body?
Ophthalmoplegic migraines cause severe headaches with visual phenomena. Rarely do these types of migraines cause permanent damage to vision. Ophthalmoplegic migraine occurs more often as people advance in age. The actual mechanism that causes this type of migraine is not well understood. It has been suspected to involve a combination of conditions surrounding blood vessels that cause inflammation and allergic reactions
What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?
A person with ophthalmoplegic migraine experiences specific eye-related symptoms. These symptoms may differ from person to person but generally include:
  • droopy eyelid, known as ptosis double vision paralysis of the eye other types of vision changes migrainelike pain
What are the causes and risks of the infection?
The true cause of migraine pain is unknown, but there are many theories. The most accepted theory is that migraine is caused by dilated blood vessels in the brain. New research shows that the protective tissue that covers the brain, called the meninges, may become inflamed and cause pain.
What can be done to prevent the infection?

OPHTHALMOPLEGIC MIGRAINE
Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare condition considered to be an unusual form of migraine. The pain usually surrounds the eyeball and lasts from a few days to a few months, caused by weakness of the muscles surrounding the eye. It is important to confirm the diagnosis of ophthalmoplegic migraine, as similar symptoms can be caused by pressure on the nerves behind the eye.

Headache MIGRAINE
Symptoms
There are several types of migraine, all share basic features, and each person will suffer this headache in a unique way. Generally, however, migraine often begins as a dull ache and then develops into a constant, throbbing and pulsating pain that you may feel at the temples, as well as the front or back of one side of the head. The pain is usually accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise. The two most prevalent types of migraine are migraine with aura (formerly referred to as classic migraine) and migraine without aura (formerly referred to as common migraine).
Migraine without Aura
As we have said, migraine is a vascular headache, which means the headache is associated with changes in the size of the arteries inside and around the skull. During the pre-headache phase, blood vessels constrict; when vascular dilation occurs, the migraine begins. The blood vessels are thought to become inflamed as well as swollen, and it is believed that migraine pain is caused by this inflammation, as well as by the pressure on the swollen walls of the blood vessels. Most migraine sufferers experience two to four headaches per month; but, some people can get one every few days, and others may only have one or two a year. Most migraine headaches last at least four hours, although very severe ones can last up to a week. Headaches may begin at any time of the day or night; and while a sufferer may wake up with one, a migraine will rarely awaken a person from sleep.

1.3 OPHTHALMOPLEGIC MIGRAINE 1.4 RETINAL MIGRAINE RETURN 1.3 OPHTHALMOPLEGIC MIGRAINE Description: Repeated attacks of headache associated with paresis of one or more ocular cranial nerves in the absence of demonstrable intracranial lesion. Other cranial nerves may be involved and the following conditions should be considered:
  • Diabetic cranial neuropathy Intracranial aneurysm/tumor Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (painful ophthalmoplegia) Acute glaucoma Ocular pseudotumor CNS infiltrative or infectious disease
NOTE: The fact that this syndrome may involve the oculomotor nerves and the ophthalmic division of the 5th nerve suggests that the anatomic localization of the lesion may be close to the cavernous sinus. Angiographic evidence of constriction of the internal carotic artery in the region of the cavernous sinus has been demonstrated in a few patients during attacks of this headache. Diagnostic Criteria:
  • At least 2 attacks fulfilling B. Headache overlapping with paresis of one or more of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI. Parasellar lesion ruled out by appropriate investigations.

    ophthalmoplegic migraine With ophthalmoplegic migraine syndrome, the headache localises around one eye and it is followed hours later by a IIIrd or VIth nerve palsy on that side. The nerve palsy gradually improves over several days or weeks. A Horner's syndrome may develop after several episodes. This very rare migraine syndrome must be distinguished from a posterior communicating artery aneurysm. The aneurysm can compress the IIIrd cranial nerve.
