Abstract

Migrainous headache can be seen in 8-14% of the patients with epilepsy. Thirty-six (26 female, 10 male) epileptic patients with headache, age ranged between 15 and 64 (mean 31 years), were analyzed regarding to the prevalence and the type of headache. The mean duration time of epilepsy was 17 years. 34 patients had partial and 2 patients had primary generalized epilepsy. There were tension type headache in 14, migraine without aura in 12, migraine with aura in 3, mixed type headache in 3 and other types headache in 4 patients. Headaches were diagnosed before the diagnosis of epilepsy in 11 patients, with the diagnosis of epilepsy in 9, and after the onset of epilepsy in 16 patients. In 14 patients with partial epilepsy, the triggering factors, which brought out headache and seizures, were similar.

Özet

Epileptik olgularda, nöbet öncesi ya da postiktal dönemde değişik tiplerde baş ağrılarının (BA) görüldüğü bilinmektedir. Ortalama 17 yıldır epileptik nöbet öyküsü tanımlayan ve baş ağrıları olan yaşları 15-64 (ort:31) arasında, 26 kadın, 10 erkek toplam 36 olguda baş ağrısının sıklığı, niteliği ve nöbetlerle ilişkisi incelenmiştir. 34 olguda parsiyel, 2 olguda primer jeneralize tonik-klonik nöbetler tanımlanmıştır. Gerilim B A 14, aurasız migren 12, auralı migren 3, mikst tip baş ağrısı 3 ve diğer tip baş ağrıları 4 olguda görülmüştür. Ağrı 11 (% 31) hastada epilepsi tanısına varılmadan önce tanımlanmıştır. 9 olguda ağrı (% 25) epileptik nöbetler ile birlikte başlamış ve 16 (% 44) olguda ise antiepileptik tedaviye başlandıktan sonraki yıllarda gelişmiştir. Baş ağrısının nöbetlerle birlikte görüldüğü 14 olgunun tümü parsiyel epilepsili olup bunlarda nöbet veya baş ağrısı benzer tetikleyici faktörlerle ortaya çıkmıştır.
