Basilar migraine, also known as Bickerstaff syndrome, is a rare subtype of migraine that can cause severe and debilitating symptoms. Basilar migraine is characterized by the involvement of the basilar artery in the brainstem, which can lead to a variety of symptoms, including vertigo, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and loss of consciousness. These symptoms can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours and can be accompanied by a severe headache.
The exact causes of basilar migraine are not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormal activity in the brainstem and the release of certain chemicals in the brain. Basilar migraine is more common in women and can be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal changes, and certain foods.
Treatment for basilar migraine typically involves a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. Medications may include pain relievers, anti-nausea drugs, and drugs that help to prevent migraines from occurring in the first place. Lifestyle changes may include avoiding triggers such as stress and certain foods, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.
If you suspect that you may be experiencing basilar migraine, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional as soon as possible. A healthcare professional can help to diagnose your condition and recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs.
In summary, basilar migraine is a rare subtype of migraine that can cause severe and debilitating symptoms. The exact causes of basilar migraine are not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormal activity in the brainstem and the release of certain chemicals in the brain.
