Imigraine.Net B. Todd Troost, M.D. What was formerly known as basilar artery migraine or basilar migraine is Bickerstaff147 introduced the concept of basilar artery migraine, with http://imigraine.net/migraine/basilarm.html
Extractions: What was formerly known as basilar artery migraine or basilar migraine is now termed basilar-type migraine and is listed as 1.2.6 in the new IHS classification. A description of this condition is listed in Table 6. Basilar-type attacks are mostly seen in young adults. While originally the terms basilar artery migraine or basilar migraine were used, the involvement of the basilar artery territory was uncertain, and therefore, it is now preferred to use the term basilar-type migraine. Bickerstaff 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. Later, Bickerstaff described a group of patients in whom consciousness was impaired during attacks of migraine, and he suggested that the mechanism was transient ischemia of the reticular activating system of the brainstem secondary to vasomotor disturbance in the distribution of the basilar artery. Loss of consciousness in migraine was reviewed by Lees and Watkins, with particular reference to the association of migraine and epilepsy. Basser

Extractions: Adapted From: Migraines For Dummies As if migraines aren't big enough mischief-makers as it is, they also like to sing show tunes and take on different personas. So here we turn to migraine variants Abdominal migraines, which are sometimes diagnosed in children, are unusual because they cause pain in the stomach and lead to nausea and vomiting (sometimes without a headache). A child who complains of recurrent pain in his stomach may be experiencing abdominal migraines. Children who suffer from abdominal migraines are likely to have migraine headaches in adulthood. Abdominal migraines are usually treated with anticonvulsant drugs. The basilar migraine was once known as the basilar artery migraine, or BAM. It was considered a problem that was found primarily in young women and adolescent girls, but it occurs in both sexes and all ages. Basilar migraines are extremely rare, but they have the potential to be a serious health hazard in that they can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Symptoms to watch for are double vision, partial vision loss, terrible vomiting, dizziness, loss of balance, slurred speech, lack of coordination, numbness (on one or both sides of the body), weakness, and confusion. These symptoms typically go away at the onset of the actual headache, although they may last for days after the pain disappears.

Foods Migraines are recurrent headaches separated by symptom-free intervals and accompanied by nausea and light sensitivity. Migraines are often accompanied by visual symptoms and are relieved by sleep; furthermore there is usually a throbbing quality. More often than not there is a family history of migraine. Formal criteria have been defined. In general, there is sensitivity to various types of sensory inputs which may trigger headache light (photophobia), sound (sonophobia), smells (such as perfume), and motion persons with migraine are often prone to become motion-sick. Psychological testing shows unsurprisingly that people with an active migraine headache score more poorly on cognitive tests (Meyer JS et al, 2000). Although migraine headache is usually unilateral, opposite sides of the head are characteristically affected during different attacks. About 20% of Migraine's are preceded by an "aura" (see picture on the right), meaning visual symptoms, dizziness , numbness, or weakness. In fact, about 1% of the time, the aura may dominate the migraine, and there may be minimal or no headache ! Migraine auras should last 5 to 60 min. Visual auras begin in central field of vision and move to the periphery. Another common visual aura is a scotoma (black spot). There is a genre of art called "

Migraine Types There is basilar migraine, which used to be called Bickerstaff s syndrome. The headaches in basilar migraine are often at the back of the head and may http://womenshealth.aetna.com/WH/ihtWH/r.WSIHW000/st.48340/t.48425.html
Extractions: The attacks are characterized by periodic bouts of abdominal pain lasting for about two hours. Along with the abdominal pain they may have other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, flushing or pallor. Tests fail to reveal a cause for the pain. Occasionally there may be EEG findings suggestive of epilepsy but this is rarely related to seizures. Medications that are useful for treating migraine work to control these attacks in most children. Back To Top Basilar Migraine When migraine affects the circulation in back of the brain or neck, it can cause Basilar Migraine or Bickerstaff's Syndrome. 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. In all these forms, there seems to be an increased risk of the migraine producing permanent neurological changes which 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 anti-epileptic 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.

Extractions: Recently, I had the headache with the rest of the experience, which coupled with an EEG led to this diagnosis. My questions are: 1) Is this enough evidence on which to base this diagnosis? 2) What is the best next step? 3) Has anyone else had an anaphylactic reaction with their migraines? 4) What's helped?

T Yamada, QS Dickins, K Arensdorf, J Corbett and J Kimura We studied serial brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in a patient who had episodic basilar migraine. During migraine attack, significant alteration of wave IV-V was revealed only by rarefaction clicks. The alteration remained unchanged throughout the headache and reverted to normal when the headache subsided. In contrast, BAEPs with condensation clicks were normal during and after the headache.

Extractions: I still remember clearly the first time a Migraine disrupted my life, I was just six years old and in the first grade. I looked sick enough that the teacher asked me to put my head down on my desk. I still recall looking through the tall classroom windows, with the blinds drawn all the way up and dark battleship-gray fluffy-bellied clouds looming as part of an approaching autumn thunderstorm. Unbeknown to me at the time was that atmospheric pressure changes, induced by weather fronts, was a major Migraine trigger, a fact I will learn later in life. I marveled as the clouds seamed to hover over one side of the playground, and the bright and painful afternoon sunlight on the opposite side of a baseball field, a chiaroscuro effect. "USDA Roadside View" To this day, dramatic skies play a dominant roll in the landscapes I produce as an artist. The pain of my Migraines throughout my life has been like being tortured by invisible terrorists. An acute severe Migraine is difficult to explain to a non-suffer. Put it this way; after enduring the so-called 'headaches,' you don't fear other things, such as dentists and bullies. But you do fear having to explain to your childhood friends why you don't want to go out to play basketball. Better to play in pain than say "I have a headache", as that just invites bullying because kids just don't understand what they have not experienced.
