Migraine
Migraine is characterized by periodic headache, which is typically unilateral and often associated with vomiting and visual disturbance
In many patients, however, the headache is bitemporal and generalised and there may be no associated focal visual or neurological disturbance.
Approximately half of the patients who suffer from migraine have an affected relative, suggesting a genetic predisposition. Dietary factors, include chocolate, cheese, and alcohol may precipitate attacks, and episodes may occur more frequently peri- menstrually or in patients taking oral contraceptives. Stress and anxiety may initiate attacks or lead to perpetuation of headache and both stress and migraine headache not uncommonly co-exist.
Symptoms
The condition usually starts after puberty and continues until late middle life. Attacks occur at intervals which vary from a few days to several months, and last for hours to days. Premonitory symptoms occur in some patients in the form of zig- zag lines, flashing coloured lights, or defects in the visual field and in others dysphagia, hemiparesis may develop in association with the headache. The headache is usually in the frontal region and spreads to affect the whole of one side of the head, but may become generalised. The pain is severe and throbbing, and may be associated with vomiting, dimness of vision, pallor, and prostration, which may necessitate the patient taking to bed in a darkened room.
