This is a rare form of migraine aura that causes distortions in perception.
Children experience this syndrome more than adults, but it can occur in people of any age.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
It’s possible for some or all of your migraine attacks to manifest this way.
The most common symptoms of silent migraines are vision problems and alterations in color perception.
Silent migraines are more common in people over 50 and are sometimes misdiagnosed as a stroke.
As with migraine with aura, these symptoms come on gradually before the head pain of a migraine.
This pop in of migraine isn’t common and seems to occur most frequently in adolescent girls.
Like the symptoms of migraine with brainstem aura, hemiplegic migraine symptoms can be mistaken for stroke symptoms.
This occurs before the headache phase of the migraine starts.
The head pain generally commences within an hour of these visual symptoms and can last up to three days.
What Is a Retinal Migraine?
To diagnose a retinal migraine, your physician must rule out other possible blindness causes.
Status Migrainosus
Status migrainosus is a painful, debilitating migraine attack lasting for more than 72 hours.
Menstrually-related migraines affect between 6% and 7% of people with vaginas.
Pure menstrual migraines are far less common, affecting roughly one in 100 people with vaginas.
While the paralysis may be short-lived, some people may take weeks or months to recover.
Ophthalmoplegic migraines mostly affect children, but the condition can persist well into adulthood.
Repeated episodes can cause permanent cranial nerve damage.
Medication-Induced Migraine
Migraines can sometimes occur as an adverse reaction to pain medications used to treat headaches.
These are the people most likely to abuse pain medicines.
Vestibular Migraine
Vestibular migrainesare migraines that are accompanied byvertigo(disorienting spinning sensations).
Vestibular migraines affect roughly 10% of people with migraines.
Symptoms tend to develop between the ages of 20 and 40 but can occur during childhood.
Menstrual migraines are frequently accompanied by vertigo.
The episodes are usually unprovoked and can last anywhere from a few hours to several days.
Children are more affected than adults.
In recent years, CVS has been regarded by some experts as a form of migraine.
Because of the involvement of the gastrointestinal symptoms, some people regard CVS as being synonymous with abdominal migraines.
