Types of Migraine

There are several types of migraines, which can be categorized based on their clinical features:

1. Migraine with Aura: Characterized by premonitory neurological phenomena such as visual scotomas before the headache phase.
2. Migraine without Aura (formerly termed common migraine): Features include unilateral throbbing headache, nausea and vomiting, or photophobia.

Other types mentioned in recent sources include:

• Chronic Migraine: Headaches on 8 or more days per month with at least 15 total days of headaches.
• Hemiplegic Migraine
• Retinal Migraine
• Abdominal Migraine (commonly seen in children)
• Vestibular Migraine

basilar migraine

Pathophysiology:

Basilar migraine, also known as basilar-type migraine or migrainous brainstem aura, is thought to involve dysfunction in the brainstem and its connections. It may be related to cortical spreading depression (a wave of neuronal depolarization) affecting the occipital cortex and brainstem structures.
