Basilar artery migraine and reversible imaging abnormalities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a basilar artery migraine in a 17-year-old boy with transient CT and MR abnormalities after each of two migraine episodes. A repeat MR study 6 months after the last event showed complete resolution of the lesion. Transient abnormalities on brain images similar to those shown in our case have been reported in patients with migraine and other neurologic conditions and are most likely related to cerebral vasogenic edema.

Case Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an increasingly recognized and important cause of thunderclap headache. Delays in diagnosis may cause deterioration of symptoms and concomitant unnecessary investigations. However, the diagnosis of RCVS in the acute stage remains difficult.A 41-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department for severe, recurrent occipital heada...

Acute ataxia in children is caused by CNS tumors, trauma, CNS infection, toxins, metabolic causes or stroke. Recurrent ataxia can be due to metabolic causes, seizures, basilar artery migraine or toxins. Chronic ataxia is usually the result of hereditary ataxia, CNS tumors, congenital anomalies...

Our patient, however, did not have a history of migraine, nor has she developed migraine since the episode described in our case-report.2 Our posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome/reversi...

متن کاملAuditory hallucination in basilar occlusion: I heard it was the basilar.
Acute basilar artery occlusion is a neurological emergency. Unlike anterior circulation stroke presenting with hemiparesis, the symptoms of basilar artery occlusion are challenging to recognise in the emergency setting. Basilar artery occlusion can rarely lead to ischaemia of the auditory pathways, resulting in bizarre, positive auditory hallucinations. Here, we report two cases of basilar arte...
