Familial migraine with vertigo and essential tremor.
We report a family with dominantly inherited migraine headaches, episodic vertigo, and essential tremor. All symptoms improved with the use of acetazolamide. Linkage analysis ruled out linkage to markers on chromosome 19p, known to be linked to the genetic defect in families with the clinically similar syndromes of hemiplegic migraine and periodic ataxia. This genetic heterogeneity of migraine ...
متن کاملCase reports on two patients with episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss and migraine responding to prophylactic drugs for migraine. Menière’s disease or migraine-associated vertigo?
Recent reports have focused on a possible association between migraine and Menière's disease; patients suffering from Menière's disease present a higher rate of migraine. In some cases, the clinical features of migraine-associated vertigo may mimic the presentation of Menière's disease. The present report focuses on two cases of females with recurrent episodes of rotational vertigo, fluctuating...
متن کاملFamilial migraine with vertigo: no mutations found in CACNA1A.
We searched for mutations in the voltage-gated calcium channel gene, CACNA1A, in nine propositi of families with migraine headaches and episodic vertigo inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. All 47 exons and flanking introns in CACNA1A were subjected to single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genomic DNA. Exons with aberrantly migrating frag...
متن کاملMigraine Associated Vertigo
CONCLUSIONS It is probably not wise to demand a temporal relationship between migraine symptoms and vertigo for the definition of migrainous vertigo. When recurrent vertigo attacks begin at an early age in a patient with normal hearing and migraine, there are few diagnoses other than migraine that need to be considered. OBJECTIVE The clinical association between migraine and vestibular sympto...
متن کاملFamilial clustering of migraine: further evidence from a Portuguese study.
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate familial aggregation of migraine in a large group of Portuguese families, and to assess if familial aggregation differs between MA and MO. METHODS Familial aggregation was evaluated by estimating relative risk (RR) of migraine in 143 first-degree relatives of 50 probands with MA, in 196 first-degree relatives of 94 probands with MO and also in proband's spous...
