Extractions: Migraine, of course, is much more than just a bad headache. In fact, many migraineurs don't get headache at all ( read here for more on migraine symptoms ). Migraine symptoms tend to be different for everybody. What is hemiplegic migraine? Headache and hemiplegic migraine sometimes go together, and sometimes don't. Hemiplegia is simply paralysis on one side of the body. Someone with hemiplegic migraine has, as one of their symptoms or perhaps their only symptom, trouble moving one side of their body. Since this is a common stroke symptom, it can be frightening. The symptoms usually occur during the migraine attack and sometimes for a while afterwards. The good news is that the symptoms are only temporary, and are usually gone within 24 hours. Sometimes it affects most of the one side of the body, at other times only a part. Other symptoms may go along with it, such as difficulty speaking. There may be numbness, or a prickly feeling. Hemiplegic migraine can start in childhood or adulthood. The same person may get headaches or migraine attacks without the weakness as well. Different types of hemiplegic migraine Headache and hemiplegic migraine can be broken into a couple of catagories:
IHC: Gene Mutation Identified For Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 2 Still, in 30% of families, familial hemiplegic migraine cannot be linked to eitherthat gene or a previously discovered mutation on chromosome 19. http://www.docguide.com/dg.nsf/PrintPrint/61DFDD506A261BF485256DB1004CF362
Extractions: Dr. Casari said their research demonstrated that mutations of the alpha 2 subunit of the sodium-potassium pump are responsible for FHM2. "Functional data show that a putative pathogenetic mechanism is triggered by a loss of function of a single allele of the sodium potassium pump," Dr. Casari reported. Commenting on the report in her summary of the day's most significant papers, Marie-Germaine Bousser, MD, department of neurology, Lariboisière Hospital, Paris, France, called the presentation the "highlight of [the] day" and an "important finding" that links loss of genetic function to this inherited form of migraine.

The unilateral sensory loss, hemiparesis, or dysphasia may prompt referral to echocardiography to rule out a cardiac source of embolus. The following references discuss a possible pathophysiological relationship between migraine and mitral valve prolapse:
Paralysis And Hemiplegic Migraine hemiplegic migraine is a specific type of migraine. Usually, it s divided intotwo types sporadic hemiplegic migraine and familial hemiplegic migraine. http://www.sensiblesoftware.com/articles/a/Paralysis-and-hemiplegic-migraine.htm
Extractions: Those who think of migraine as "just a bad headache" may be surprised to hear about hemiplegic migraine, a type of migraine that can involve weakness or even paralysis on one side of the body. But those familiar with migraine know that it's much more than a headache. In fact, it's often not a headache at all! Migraine attacks involve a number of symptoms. Headache is a common one, but there can also be nausea, skin sensitivity, a sensitivity to light or sound, confusion or weakness. Hemiplegic migraine is a specific type of migraine. Usually, it's divided into two types - sporadic hemiplegic migraine and familial hemiplegic migraine. BOth types are similar, the difference being that those with familial hemiplegic have a close relative that gets migraine with aura - particularly the symptom of weakness.

Migraine Types There is hemiplegic migraine, which can be inherited and has been linked to one of With hemiplegic migraine, there is often a familial occurrence. 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.
Familial The term familial hemiplegic migraine has been abused since in most forms ofmigraine occur and most patients with hemiplegic attacks have these http://www.dent.ucla.edu/sod/depts/oralfacial/courses/merrill/hemipleg.html
Extractions: C. At least one firs degree relative has identical attacks. Comments: This disorder is marked by paralysis of the limbs on one side (hemiplegia). It may be seen as a feature of the prodromal phase and resolve as the headache appears, as with migraine. The headache is usually ipsilateral to the hemiplegia. Brainstem dysfunction is commonly observed with the headache (see Basilar Migraine). This disorder probably has the same pathophysiology as migraine with typical aura. The reason for still keeping it separate is that families have been described where attacks are strikingly identical and sometimes long lasting. The term familial hemiplegic migraine has been abused since in most families different forms of migraine occur and most patients with hemiplegic attacks have these intermingled with more frequent attacks of migraine without hemiparesis. The headache occurs in both sporadic and familial forms. Usually beginning in childhood, sometimes as early as 1-2years and generally ceasing in adulthood. The hemiplegia is usually part of the aura and may last an hour or longer. Headache follows the hemiplegia or may occur with it. There is a male predominance. CSF pleocytosis may be present (predominantly PMN's). Cerebral angiography performed during the hemiparetic attacks are usually unremarkable although constriction of the internal carotic and basilar arteries have been seen.

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.

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.
Imigrainet.net B. Todd Troost, M. D. hemiplegic migraine occurs both sporadically and as a familial syndrome. There have been few permanent sequelae attributed to hemiplegic migraine; http://imigraine.net/migraine/prolonged.html
Extractions: In the new classification of migraine, Subtype 1.6 indicates complications of migraine. This would include all of the permanent defects discussed in this section. Focal symptoms and signs of the aura may persist beyond a headache phase. In the previous classification, this was termed complicated migraine. It is now defined by the IHS classification with two labels with increased specificity. If the aura lasts for longer than one hour but less than one week, the term migraine with prolonged aura is applied. If the signs persist for more than one week or a neuroimaging procedure demonstrates a stroke, a migrainous infarction has occurred. As pointed out previously, mid or later life the aura may not be followed by headache and has been termed migraine accompagnée or migraine associée . Migraine with aura (classic) in early reports was sometimes referred to as ophthalmic migraine (to be differentiated from ophthalmoplegic migraine, a subtype of migraine with aura). Migraine with aura is further reviewed under the headings: Cerebral, Ophthalmoplegic, Retinal, Basilar, and Other Varieties Cerebral A variety of cerebral symptoms may occur in migraine with aura, including motor, visual, and other sensory defects. As pointed out previously, if the aura lasts for more than one hour , but less than one week, the term migraine with prolonged aura is applied. However, if the signs persist for more than one week, or a neuroimaging procedure shows a stroke the term used is
