  1. 10 Rare and Extreme Types of Migraines

  2. Migraines A migraine is a primary type of headache disorder followed by recurrent headaches that are moderate to severe. Typically, the headaches affect one side of the head, are pulsating in nature, and last from 2 to 72 hours. Associated symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.sensitivity to light, sound, or smell.

  4. Hemiplegic migraines Hemiplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine where people experience weakness on one side of their body (hemiplegia) in addition to the migraine headache attack. The weakness is a form of migraine aura and occurs with other forms of typical migraine aura like changes in vision, speech or sensation,speech disturbances. there are four genes related to familial hemiplegic migraine: CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A, and possibly PRRT2. These genes are related to channels on nerve membranes that control the movement of substances like sodium, calcium and potassium across the nerve.

  5. Ocular Migraine Ocular migraines are temporary visual disturbances that can affect one or both eyes. Though they can be frightening, ocular migraines typically are harmless and the visual symptoms typically self-resolve without medication within 20 to 30 minutes, without headache.Ocular migraines can interfere with your ability to perform tasks like reading, writing, or driving. Symptoms are temporary and an ocular migraine is not considered a serious condition.Exactly what causes ocular migraine is not known, but a personal or family history of migraines is a known risk factor. Doctors theorize that ocular migraine has the same causes as classic migraine.

  6. Ophthalmic migraine is quite common. Patients usually experience visual symptoms of seeing bright zig-zag type lines in their central or peripheral (side) vision. These bright lines may have associated flashing light sensations and sometimes can interfere with vision. There are many variations of symptoms. These symptoms usually resolve spontaneously after several minutes but usually less than one hour. Often, rest in a darkened room can be helpful during a migraine attack. Medical treatment is usually not necessary. Ophthalmic Migraine

  7. Ophthalmoplegic migraine Ophthalmoplegic migraine headaches include pain around the eye along with paralysis of the muscles around it. This is a medical emergency because the symptoms can also be caused by pressure on the nerves behind the eye or an aneurysm. Other symptoms of this rare type of migraine include a droopy eyelid, double vision, or other vision changes.

  8. If you have headaches that occur between 2 days before your period and in the first 3 days of flow, and if those headaches are more severe, or light bothers you more with those headaches, odds are you have menstrual migraine. Migraines occurring just before and during menses can be the most challenging kind to treat and frequently do not respond to the same medicines that work the rest of the month. Menstrual migraine is fueled by the drop in usual estrogen levels that occurs just prior to the menstrual period. The menstrual migraine window is considered 2 days before flow starts and continues for the first 3 days of menses. Menstrual Migraine Story for illustration purposes only

  9. Basilar migraine A basilar migraine refers to a type of migraine with that begins in your brain stem. It’s sometimes called a Bickerstaff migraine or a basilar artery migraine. The cause is unknown, but these migraines may be the result of a blood vessel that’s become tightened. This is called vasoconstriction, and it’s often caused by the muscles around your arteries becoming too tight and blocking blood flow.Some arguments have been raised that the headache does not necessarily originate in the basilar artery, but it seems that some doctors do not agree. Some other effects of this migraine variant may also be tinnitus, partial vision loss, slurred speech, vertigo, numbness (on one or both sides of the body), and vertigo are symptoms.

  10. Abdominal Migraine An abdominal migraine is a type of migraine that affects mostly children. Unlike migraine headaches, the pain is in the belly — not the head.Abdominal migraines often affect kids between 7 to 10 but sometimes adults can get them too. This type of migraine is uncommon, affecting between ! percent and 4 percent of children.An abdominal migraine can easily be confused with other, more common causes of stomach aches in children, such as irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)and Crohn's Disease.Some of the symptoms included are attention deficit problems, clumsiness, or delayed development.

  11. Chronic migraine is defined as headache occurring on 15 or more days per month for more than three months, which, on at least 8 days per month, has the features of migraine headache. Chronic migraine occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Studies estimate that about 2.5% of people with episodic migraine will transition to chronic migraine each year. Chronic Migraine

  12. A basilar migraine is a rare type of migraine that begins in the brain stem. A basilar migraine may be caused by a constriction of blood vessels that limit blood flow to the brain. Other conditions that restrict blood flow, such as tortuous blood vessels, may also cause basilar migraines. Basilar migraines can affect a person's senses, particularly their sight. This is referred to as a migraine with aura. A basilar migraine may cause a person to see lines, flashes of light, Vertebrobasilar Migraine

  13. Status migrainosus is a more severe and long-lasting form of migraine headache. The symptoms of a status migrainosus may be similar to a person's usual migraine pattern, or they may be more severe.The main aspect of this type of migraine is that the headache is long-lasting. A person's usual strategies for stopping the headache, including rest and medication, will often not work. Status Migrainosus
