Extractions: HeadachePainfree.Com Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Hemiplegic Migraine is characterized by the onset of unilateral (One sided) sensory or motor signs during an episode of migraine. Hemisyndromes are more common in children than in adults and may be characterized by numbness of the face, arm, and leg; unilateral weakness; and aphasia (Inability to express words). More than one attack is uncommon in the pediatric age group. Hemiplegic migraine occurs in two forms, sporadic and familial, both of which typically begin in childhood and cease with adulthood. The age of onset of hemiplegic migraine may be earlier than that of common migraine. The attacks are frequently precipitated by minor head injury. Accompanying changes in consciousness ranging from confusion to coma are a feature of hemiplegic migraine , especially in childhood, and occur in 23 percent of patients. The hemiplegic migraine is characterized by neurologic deficits that range from mild hemiparesis to full hemiplegia. The deficit may persist for some time after the headache. The hemiplegia may be part of the aura and last less than 1 hour, or it may continue through the headache phase and last for days or weeks. It is often associated with pernicious nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and despair. Even though symptoms usually last for hours or days, affected individuals are rarely left with permanent deficits. It is unusual for a child to develop a completed stroke after a single episode. Hemiplegic migraine in an older child or adolescent has a relatively good prognosis and a positive family history of similar hemiplegic events is often elicited.

Hemiplegic Migraine - HealthBoards Bulletin Board My employer's physician suggests that if the epilepsy monitoring unit can't findanything, my doctors should look at hemiplegic migraine. Does anyone know http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/Forum58/HTML/000434.html
Extractions: Registered: Oct 2002 posted 01-15-2003 03:05 PM Hello. Right now, I am being investigated for epilepsy, given the majority of my recent symptoms strongly correlate. As well, I have a history of seizures as a child and a single seizure in my teen years. My employer's physician suggests that if the epilepsy monitoring unit can't find anything, my doctors should look at "hemiplegic migraine." Does anyone know anything about this? What is the treatment, prognosis, etc? Thanks.

Extractions: hemiplegic migraine Hemiplegic migraine is a term used to describe the migraine syndrome that is associated with a weakness or sensory loss of the limbs on one side of the body. The headache usually precedes the weakness by a day or more. The limbs gradually return to normal over several days. Often there is a family history of this type of migraine, usually with an autosomal dominant inheritance. It is always necessary to exclude another possible underlying cause for the hemiplegia such as an angioma. It is a rare form of migraine.

Familial Migraine with aura including hemiparesisand where at least one first degree relative has identical attacks.Familial hemiplegic migraine. 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.
Headache Classification Recent studies report that the defective gene is located on chromosome 19in familial hemiplegic migraine. 1.2.3Familial hemiplegic migraine. http://www.dent.ucla.edu/sod/depts/oralfacial/courses/merrill/haclass.html
Extractions: Classification of Headache Robert L. Merrill, DDS, MS Adjunct Associate Professor UCLA School of Dentistry Most of the research work published in the past was difficult to interpret because there were no clearly defined criteria established for the diagnosis of different types of headache. This problem was addressed by the International Headache Society (IHS) in 1988 when the "Classification and Diagnostic Criteria for Headache Disorders, Cranial Neuralgias and Facial Pain" was published. All the publications subsequent to that have relied on these criteria for the diagnosis of various headache syndromes. A familiarity with this classification will be worthwhile. Some aspects of the classification and diagnostic criteria will be detailed in the following sections. 13 general groupings of headache disorders Migraine Tension-type Headache Cluster Headache and Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania Miscellaneous headaches unassociated with structural lesions Headache associated with head trauma Headache associated with vascular disorders. Headache associated with non-vascular intracranial disorder Headache associated with substances or their withdrawal Headache associated with non-cephalic infections.

It is involved in the characterization of new mutations associated with Familial Hemiplegic Migraine with or without Progressive Cerebellar Ataxia (FHM and FHM/PCA) and in studying the genetics of more common types of Migraine (MO and MA). In addition, the cloning of full-length cDNAs from CACNA1A human gene is being performed. Exchanges with other teams of the Neuronal Calcium Channel in Disease Research Training Network (link) are planned in order to maximize the sensitivity of mutation detection and to functionally characterize new mutations associated with different phenotypes. The Clinical Molecular Biology Laboratory has a decades worth of experience in mutation detection technology, with a group of fourteen people involved in either molecular genetics research or diagnostics.
