Extractions: PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. An understanding of the anatomy is essential to make a logical diagnosis of the cause of acquired diplopia. Anatomy There are 6 external ocular muscles of which the superior oblique is supplied by the trochlear nerve (IV), the lateral rectus is supplied by the abducent nerve (VI) and all other external muscles, the internal muscles and the eyelid are supplied by the oculomotor nerve (III). The 4 rectus muscles pull directly on the globe so that they move the eye in the direction of their name, superior, inferior, medial and lateral. The oblique muscles hook round a "pulley" so that they move the eyes the opposite way. Hence the superior oblique moves the eye down and out (the tramps muscle) and the inferior oblique move it up and out. The superior and inferior recti are not placed centrally so they have a tendency to move the eye medially but this is opposed by the obliques.

This is the third of four articles on headaches Preview : When a child has headaches, parents usually seek medical attention to get reassurance that the cause is not a brain tumor or other serious problem. Many parents don't realize that it is not uncommon for migraine headaches to begin during childhood. Other parents may realize that migraines are part of their family history but don't know about frightening variants, such as benign torticollis. Dr Winner describes childhood presentations of migraine and other headaches and discusses atypical findings that require further assessment. He also summarizes methods that are useful in checking and preventing headache attacks. U ncommon primary headache syndromes as well as secondary headache disorders in children can be quite anxiety-provoking, not only for patients and parents but also for practitioners, who must decide what degree of evaluation is needed and what treatment is appropriate. Thorough history taking, physical examination and, when appropriate, diagnostic testing usually allow physicians to distinguish primary headaches from headaches secondary to another problem. However, evaluation of children, especially those under age 10, requires special knowledge and techniques. Input from parents is crucial in obtaining an accurate headache history. Important determinations in history taking are whether the child experiences more than one type of headache and what level of disability the headaches cause. At present, there is no easily used scale to measure disability from headaches in children. The severity can be estimated, though, from answers to specific questions (eg, Can the child tolerate watching television or listening to music when he or she has a headache? Is participation in after-school activities limited by headaches? Is academic performance affected by headaches? How much school has the child missed because of headaches?).

A neurological disorder, characterized by paralysis of the oculomotor nerve accompanied with periodic migraine. It begins as severe vomiting and ohthalmodynya. After an attack, there is a gradual diminishing of symptoms until mydriasis becomes the only sign. After 3 to 5 days of onset, when pain subsides, it is frequently followed by hemiparesis. Recovery usually follows afte a few days. It is believed to be caused by compression of the third cranial nerve between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebral arteries. Occur in young adults.

Scotoma with aspects of a fortification. Classic migraine : Migraine headache with aura (loss of vision or other visual symptoms, paresthesias, motor dysfunction) precedes the throbbing headache. 15-20% of migraines are classic (Russell and Olesen, 1996). Migraine with aura may be the first sign of CADASIL (Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy.). Aura is also common in familial hemiplegic migraine . Cortical spreading depression within the occipital cortex generate most visual areas as well as sensory symptoms. Common migraine : Migraine headache without aura. About 80% of migraines are of this type (Russell and Olesen, 1996). Vertebrobasilar migraine : headache accompanied by dizziness or ataxia, hearing symptoms (other than phonophobia), nausea and vomiting, and sometimes loss of consciousness. This is rather common as about 1/3 of all persons with migraine experience true vertigo. See related page on "

This finding supports the view that the oculomotor nerve lesion in ophthalmoplegic migraine is peripheral, but its rarity suggests that the underlying mechanism may be ischaemic rather than compression by an oedematous intracavernous internal carotid artery.

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Dr Rob Hicks A migraine is a severe headache that is often accompanied by other distressing symptoms. It's thought to be related to chemical changes in the body that affect the way blood vessels and nerve cells function in the brain. What are the symptoms? How is it treated? Further help There are two main types of migraine: Migraine without aura or "common" migraine Migraine with aura or "classical" migraine A migraine attack may start with subtle mood or behaviour changes, for example, unaccountable feelings of happiness or depression, or hunger cravings. In migraine with aura the headache may be preceded by visual or speech disturbance, muscle tingling or weakness, or numbness of the face and arms. The headache that follows is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and/or sensitivity to bright lights or noise. A migraine lasts from between four and 72 hours. There are also rare types of migraine that include hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, ophthalmoplegic migraine, and abdominal migraine. Another rare form of migraine is basilar artery migraine where symptoms such as dizziness, confusion and lack of balance are not always followed by headache.

Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Headache Conditions that cause severe headaches in children include both primary and secondary disorders. 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)

My husband was a minister and I was thrown into making decisions of where to live and work, what I would do with all the books and materials in his library and dealing with grief and loss at the same time. I did not want to think of packing for it meant goodbye to what had been; even trying to eat regular meals and the every day responsibilities of a house was too much. I wanted to withdraw from the world completely and be left alone with my misery. To learn to live once more without my husband was the hardest task I had to face.
