Electroencephalograms in basilar artery migraine.

D Parain, D Samson-Dollfus

    Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study observed unique EEG patterns in basilar artery migraine (BAM) patients, differing from typical findings. These beta activity changes during attacks suggest BAM may encompass varied underlying syndromes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Basilar artery migraine (BAM) is a clinical diagnosis.
    • Previous literature describes specific EEG findings in BAM.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document and analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in nine cases of basilar artery migraine.
    • To compare observed EEG patterns with existing literature.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of nine patients diagnosed with basilar artery migraine.
    • Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings during migraine attacks and inter-ictal periods.
    • Exclusion of drug-induced effects.

    Main Results:

    • Eight out of nine patients exhibited excess beta activity during BAM attacks.
    • This beta activity resolved within three days post-attack.
    • Inter-ictal EEGs were consistently normal.
    • One case aligned with previously reported EEG abnormalities (transitory posterior slow waves).

    Conclusions:

    • Observed EEG patterns, particularly excess beta activity, differ from typical literature findings for BAM.
    • The term 'basilar artery migraine' may represent a heterogeneous group of syndromes.
    • Further research is needed to differentiate these potential subtypes.
