Migraine
(Abdul Qadir)
Other rare forms of migraine
Hemiplegic migraine: this is a very rare condition which has been linked to a genetic abnormality. Symptoms include temporary paralysis down one side of the body, which can last for several days. Other symptoms include vertigo or difficulty walking, double vision or blindness, hearing impairment, numbness around the mouth leading to trouble speaking or swallowing. This form of migraine may be confused with a stroke, but the effects are usually fully reversible.
Basilar artery migraine: in some cases during a migraine attack, the basilar artery, a blood vessel at the base of the brain, goes into spasm causing a diminished blood supply to parts of the brain. This can cause giddiness, double vision, unsteadiness, fainting or even loss of consciousness.
Ocular / Opthalmoplegic migraine: another rare form of migraine with lateralised pain (often around the eye), accompanied by nausea, vomiting and double vision.
Cluster migraine: this is a misnomer, which is sometimes incorrectly applied when sufferers experience frequent migraine attacks over a short space of time.
