Migraine with aura complicated by “migraine triggered seizures” and “occipital lobe infarction”: A case report
Migraine with aura is one of the major subtypes of migraine, and can be associated with ischaemic brain infarction. Use of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) increases the risk of infarction in this type of migraine. Seizures and migraine also have a complex relationship, one element of which is migrainetriggered seizures. We report a case of bilateral occipital lobe infarction and migraine-trigge...
متن کاملNormobaric hypoxia and nitroglycerin as trigger factors for migraine.
Migraine prevalence is increased in high-altitude populations and symptoms of acute mountain sickness mimic migraine symptoms. Here we tested whether normobaric hypoxia may trigger migraine attacks. As positive control we used nitrolgycerin (NTG), which has been shown to induce migraine attacks in up to 80% of migraineurs. Sixteen patients (12 females, mean age 28.9 +/- 7.2 years) suffering fro...
متن کاملLamotrigine reduces migraine aura and migraine attacks in patients with migraine with aura.
This study examined the efficacy of lamotrigine in the prevention of migraine aura. Fifty nine patients suffering from migraine with aura received lamotrigine in a controlled three year prospective open study. Treatment response was defined as a reduction of aura frequency each month by at least 50%. Primary endpoint was reached by three quarters of the patients. Lamotrigine significantly reduc...
متن کاملWhat triggers migraine aura?
About 15% of migraine patients suffer from migraine with aura. Most patients have visual or sensory symptoms. The assumed mechanism of aura in humans is a phenomenon called spreading cortical depression (1,2). Cortical spreading depression is characterized by a short cortical neuronal excitation followed by long-lasting depression. Both excitation and depression travel across the cortex at a sl...
متن کاملGene-based pleiotropy across migraine with aura and migraine without aura patient groups.
INTRODUCTION It is unclear whether patients diagnosed according to International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria for migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) experience distinct disorders or whether their migraine subtypes are genetically related. AIM Using a novel gene-based (statistical) approach, we aimed to identify individual genes and pathways associated both...
