Our casistic of 1787 children with headache, is made up of 943 males (53%) and 844 females (47%) aged 3-14 years. 1724 had primary headache. To make a precise diagnosis of primary headache, all the children have been subjected to a rigorous anamnesis, physical and diagnostic examination (blood,
Background Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare monogenic migraine subtype characterised by attacks associated with transient motor weakness. Clinical information is mainly based on reports of small families with only short follow-up. Here, we document a prospective 15-year follow-up of an
Migraine pathogenesis involves a complex interaction between hormones, neurotransmitters, and inflammatory pathways, which also influence the migraine phenotype. The Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) encodes the pyrin protein. The major role of pyrin appears to be in the regulation of inflammation
By analogy with ophthalmic migraine, hemiplegic migraine is defined by the occurrence during the attacks of unilateral weakness. This simple definition is however far from reflecting the wide range of clinical situations reported under this term. Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a well
Although traditionally regarded as a specific pediatric disease, abdominal migraine may also be observed in adults. Unfortunately, however, this condition is frequently overlooked in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in the emergency department (ED). A 30-year-old woman presented to our
BACKGROUND
Symptoms referable to the sinus area are frequently reported during migraine attacks, but are not recognized in diagnostic criteria. Underrecognition of migraine may be partly attributed to a variable clinical presentation, and migraines with "sinus" symptoms contribute to this problem.
BACKGROUND
Intermittent fever has been occasionally related to migraine, either as a migraine equivalent or as a migraine accompaniment. We present a case of recurrent increase in body temperature consistently associated with migraine headaches.
METHODS
A 15-year-old girl reported a 3-year lasting
A 71-year-old woman presented with recurrent episodes of headache accompanied by hemihypoesthesia, fever, aphasia, reduced consciousness and worsening of pre-existing ataxia. Brain imaging revealed atrophy of the cerebellum. The white cell count in the cerebrospinal fluid was slightly increased. The
The Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) is an infectious disease, endemo-epidemical, of viral etiology, produced by the Junin virus and limited to the Buenos Aires Province, South of Córdoba, East of La Pampa, and South of Santa Fe. It generally assails rural workers at harvest-time, especially during
BACKGROUND
A cross-sectional descriptive study to determine the overall, age and gender specific prevalence, trigger factors and impact of headache and migraine on quality of life of students attending secondary schools in Benin City, Nigeria.
METHODS
Six secondary schools were randomly selected
Headaches are common during childhood and a common pediatric presentation to emergency departments (EDs). The most common diagnoses for acute headache in the pediatric ED are viral upper respiratory tract infection with fever, sinusitis, and migraine, accounting for 70% to 75% of presentations;
Many reports in the literature seem to confirm the hypothesis that the symptoms of periodic syndrome are precursors or the equivalent of migraine: the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of periodic syndrome in a group of children and adolescents suffering from migraine in comparison with
