Extractions: : I have done much reading on abdominal migraine and have yet to see anyone else say their child has such high fevers or lack of vomiting at times yet all else is constant. We have done a ct and it was normal it was done for a pituitary but the neurologist looked at it and said it was normal. If this is abdominal migraine that's fine but it is scary. Many tests have been done on my daughter because of all that's been wrong but an MRI has never been done. : Kerry Dear Kerry: dose until her cycling vomiting cease. We have had to go up to 5 mg/kg/d, but we have about a 70% cure and most others improve. Now, if she improves and the fevers also cease, then you have your answer and the fever is apart of her migraine. I think if I saw your daughter here at the Cleveland clinic, I would order an MRI of her brain. The resolution of the MRI is so much better than CT, and I would want to be sure that there isn't a small tumor. I realize that things in Canada are different. However, if it were my daughter I would ask for one. I hope that the abdominal migraines resolve. Best of luck.

Extractions: Cayce Health Database OVERVIEW OF MIGRAINE Migraine is a syndrome characterized by attacks of headache, often accompanied by disordered vision and gastrointestinal disturbances. The intense head pain associated with migraine is usually unilateral (on one side of the head). Classified as "vascular headache," migraine headache is thought to be produced by dilation of blood vessels in the head (as distinguished from tension headaches, which are produced by muscle spasms in the head and neck). Gastrointestinal disturbances including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, constipation, or diarrhea are almost universal. In approximately 30 percent of all cases, migraine attacks are preceded by warning signs such as blind spots, zigzag flashing lights, numbness in parts of the body, and distorted visual images. THE CAUSES OF MIGRAINE The precise cause of migraine is unknown. Migraine tends to run in families, thus heredity is one possible causal factor. Allergies may also be involved, as migraine may be precipitated by allergic hypersensitivity (e.g., foods, such as cheese, alcohol, and chocolate, that contain substances that affect the blood vessels). Many things seem capable of triggering migraine attacks, including stress, fatigue, changes in the weather, changes in diet, and menstruation.

Primary headaches are conditions in which the headache is the medical condition and no underlying internal cause is present. Treatment is aimed at the specific headache disorder. Primary types include migraine headaches, tension headaches, chronic daily headaches, and cluster headaches. Doctors must find out which type of headache a child has, because the best treatments are different for each category. Headaches that come back again and again are usually the result of primary disorders. Secondary headaches are a result of some underlying process. When that process is treated, the associated headache usually gets better or goes away. Secondary headaches can be caused by many conditions, from harmless to life threatening. The following are examples of such conditions: Infections (inside the head or elsewhere)

The Abdominal Brain And Enteric Nervous System For example, abdominal epilepsy and abdominal migraine are well The degreeto which abdominal migraine exists as a subgroup within the broader http://www.meridianinstitute.com/ceu/ceu12abd.html
Extractions: Abstract Conventional medical treatment for neurological disorders such as epilepsy, migraine, and autism focuses on the brain. Although standard medical treatment is often helpful, the underlying causes of these disorders are not well understood. Furthermore, some individuals respond poorly, or not all to regular medicine. Evidence is accumulating in the medical literature that the enteric nervous system (ENS) - that part of the nervous system associated with the alimentary canal - also plays a role in these disorders. Historically, the concept of an autonomous abdominal nervous system was advocated by Byron Robinson, Johannis Langley, and Edgar Cayce. The work of these three prominent historical figures is considered along with modern viewpoints on the abdominal nervous system. Complementary therapies that address the nervous system of the abdomen hold potential as useful adjuncts to conventional treatment for certain neurological disorders. Introduction It is evident both from the historical and modern literature that the peripheral nervous system, and particularly that portion associated with the alimentary canal, is a prominent element in certain neurological disorders associated with the cerebral brain. For example, abdominal epilepsy and abdominal migraine are well established diagnostic entities in modern medicine in both children and adults (Babb and Eckman, 1972; Loar, 1979; Mitchell et al., 1983; Reimann, 1973; Santoro et al., 1990; Symon and Russell, 1986). Some researchers regard the presence of abdominal features in these illnesses as important and of possible etiological significance (Amery and Forget, 1989; Mavromichalis et al., 1995; Peppercorn and Herzog, 1989). Recently, autism has been added to the list of neurological conditions with abdominal features (Horvath et al., 1998; Murch et al., 1998; Wakefield et al., 1998;).

McMillin, MA Meridian Institute Virginia Beach, VA 23454 [NOTE: This paper was presented at the 5th Annual Cayce Health Professionals Symposium, September 16, 2000 in Virginia Beach, VA See below for continuing education credit for this article.] INTRODUCTION Migraine is a complex, systemic disorder of unknown causation. Typically, migraine presents with various neurologic, vascular, and gastrointestional symptoms. One of the major problems in understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of migraine is how to conceptualize both the nervous and vascular aspects of the syndrome. Traditionally, migraine has been regarded as a vascular headache due the obvious abnormalities in circulation to the head (Thomsen and Olesen, 1995; Agnoli and Marinis, 1985). More recently, nervous system involvement has been emphasized, with particular emphasis on the trigeminal or fifth cranial nerve (Buzzi et al., 1995) An integration of these two models has culminated in a trigemino-vascular theory which integrates nerve and circulatory processes (Buzzi and Moskowitz, 1992).
SchoolNurse.com:Migraine Equivalents abdominal migraines Onset 410 years Crampy, periumbilical abdominal pain (mayhave nausea and vomiting) Typically lasts 30-60 minutes Resolves 1-2 years http://www.schoolnurse.com/med_info/migraineeq.html
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

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Cyclic vomiting and recurrent abdominal pains as migraine or epileptic equivalents Neurologic investigations of childhood abdominal migraine a combined http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/cyclic_vomiting_syndrome.htm
Extractions: Background In 1994, the 1st International Symposium on Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome was held. Researchers there proposed relatively strict guidelines for the diagnosis of Cyclic Vomiting: 1. A child has recurrent, severe episodes of vomiting which may last for hours or days but have intervals of complete normal health in between vomiting episodes. 2. No other known cause of the vomiting. The reason for having these criteria is that there are children who have vomiting for unknown reasons but do not have normal healthy intervals in between episodes. These children may be vomiting every day or every other day as opposed to children with Cyclic Vomiting who tend to go for weeks without vomiting episodes. This disorder is also known as abdominal migraine . At the 2nd International Scientific Symposium on CVS in 1998, one of the major conclusions of the meeting was the recognition of the close relationship between CVS and migraine. Some children with CVS may evolve to classic migraine. Stress may be an important precipitant of vomiting for some children and psychological assessment and treatment may be helpful for children and families. During treatment of an acute episode of vomiting, close attention to the amount of fluid that is replaced is important as too much fluid as this may stimulate some of the chemicals which will perpetuate vomiting. It is important to ensure a good supply of sugar during this process.
