Extractions: ophthalmoplegic migraine By Terry Mason, MPH Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine headache that is felt around the eye. It is often connected with weakness of the muscles around the eye. What is going on in the body? An ophthalmoplegic migraine causes severe headache . It also may affect the person's vision. The process that causes this type of migraine is not well understood. One possible cause is inflammation of the blood vessels around the eye. Allergic reactions are another possible cause. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? A person who has ophthalmoplegic migraine has specific symptoms involving the eyes. These symptoms may differ from person to person but most likely include the following: double vision droopy eyelid, known as ptosis eye paralysis other types of vision changes severe headache pain What are the causes and risks of the condition? A migraine occurs when cells in the brain become overly sensitive to stimulation. This type of migraine may start with an allergic reaction. Or it may begin with inflammation of the blood vessels around the eye. Factors that may trigger a migraine are as follows: alcohol certain foods, including chocolate and some cheeses
Poster37.htm Brief argument that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain may be helpful in the diagnosis ophthalmoplegic migraine in children. http://med-aapos.bu.edu/pappostp5/poster37.htm
Extractions: Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare finding in childhood. Clinical history may not be characteristic and there is some overlap in symptoms with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain may be helpful in the diagnosis. Methods : Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was performed on two children during recurrent attacks of ophthalmoplegia. A seven year old girl presented with her second episode of headache and unilateral third nerve palsy. A three year old boy presented with his third episode of nausea/vomiting followed by unilateral complete CN III paresis. Results : In both cases, MRI of the brain enhanced with Gd-DTPA demonstrated ipsilateral enhancement of the third cranial nerve in the interpeduncular cistern. Resolution of the enhancement correlated with resolution of the symptoms. This contrasts with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome where the contrast-enhanced lesion is located at the level of the cavernous sinus. Conclusions: Gd-DPTA enhanced MRI of the brain may act as a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of ophthalmoplegic migraine and may represent a method of differentiating ophthalmoplegic migraine from Tolosa-Hunt syndrome when clinical history is unhelpful.

Extractions: Ophthalmoplegic migraines cause severe headaches with visual phenomena. Rarely do these types of migraines cause permanent damage to vision. Ophthalmoplegic migraine occurs more often as people advance in age. The actual mechanism that causes this type of migraine is not well understood. It has been suspected to involve a combination of conditions surrounding blood vessels that cause inflammation and allergic reactions

The Common Migraine does not have these symptoms.

Extractions: 1.3 OPHTHALMOPLEGIC MIGRAINE 1.4 RETINAL MIGRAINE RETURN 1.3 OPHTHALMOPLEGIC MIGRAINE Description: Repeated attacks of headache associated with paresis of one or more ocular cranial nerves in the absence of demonstrable intracranial lesion. Other cranial nerves may be involved and the following conditions should be considered: NOTE: The fact that this syndrome may involve the oculomotor nerves and the ophthalmic division of the 5th nerve suggests that the anatomic localization of the lesion may be close to the cavernous sinus. Angiographic evidence of constriction of the internal carotic artery in the region of the cavernous sinus has been demonstrated in a few patients during attacks of this headache. Diagnostic Criteria: At least 2 attacks fulfilling B. Headache overlapping with paresis of one or more of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI. Parasellar lesion ruled out by appropriate investigations.
Extractions: Case of Ophthalmoplegic Migraine Resulting in Ptosis Reported WESTPORT, Dec 21 (Reuters Health) - Physicians from the University of Kentucky, in Lexington, believe they have observed the first case of ophthalmoplegic migraine to occur after childhood and result in "permanent neurological deficits." The case involved a 19-year-old woman who presented with acute right ptosis with diplopia. The symptoms began following a 3-day right-sided headache that the patient described as the worst headache of her life. Although she had no history of migraine, persistent nausea and photophobia accompanied the headache. Visual acuity and the results of neurologic examination, magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory findings were normal, and the patient was discharged. However, she presented 4 days later with a recurrence of the headache and worsening ptosis.

Extractions: Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare condition considered to be an unusual form of migraine. The pain usually surrounds the eyeball and lasts from a few days to a few months, associated with weakness of the muscles surrounding the eye. It is important to confirm the diagnosis of ophthalmoplegic migraine as similar symptoms can be caused by pressure on the nerves behind the eye. top of page

Extractions: Symptoms There are several types of migraine, all share basic features, and each person will suffer this headache in a unique way. Generally, however, migraine often begins as a dull ache and then develops into a constant, throbbing and pulsating pain that you may feel at the temples, as well as the front or back of one side of the head. The pain is usually accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise. The two most prevalent types of migraine are migraine with aura (formerly referred to as classic migraine) and migraine without aura (formerly referred to as common migraine). As we have said, migraine is a vascular headache, which means the headache is associated with changes in the size of the arteries inside and around the skull. During the pre-headache phase, blood vessels constrict; when vascular dilation occurs, the migraine begins. The blood vessels are thought to become inflamed as well as swollen, and it is believed that migraine pain is caused by this inflammation, as well as by the pressure on the swollen walls of the blood vessels. Most migraine sufferers experience two to four headaches per month; but, some people can get one every few days, and others may only have one or two a year. Most migraine headaches last at least four hours, although very severe ones can last up to a week. Headaches may begin at any time of the day or night; and while a sufferer may wake up with one, a migraine will rarely awaken a person from sleep.
