[Headache syndrome in children with autonomic dysfunction]
Abstract:
Morbidity analysis of 350 children from somatic hospital has revealed clinical manifestations of autonomic dystonia syndrome (ADS) in 36% of the cases in the form of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular disorders, headache syndrome, etc. It was found that in the patients with a prevalence of vagotonia clinical manifestations of ADS rose at earlier age and differed by more variety than in combined and sympathotonic types of autonomic homeostasis. Headache syndrome was rather frequent in ADS and was observed in 35% of the patients. In children with vagotonic type of ADS, a headache syndrome presented most frequently (43%) in the forms of migraine and headache of tension (HAT). Clinical manifestations of autonomic dystonia were more pronounced in children with HAT. Meanwhile, autonomic dysfunction had hereditary origin and was milder in periods between the attacks in cases of migraine.
