Can brain electricity imbalace cause migraine?
Migraine is a genetic neurologic condition. Its cause is in the genes. The Migraine brain is more sensitive to changes in the body. When an attack is triggered, spreading cortical depression (an electric wave) in the brain and the Migraine has begun.
Does the equinox cause migraine headaches?
No. Migraine is a genetic, neurologic disease. The cause is usually genetic. Migraine may be triggered by things that can cause a change in the homeostasis of the body/brain however. The equinox is not generally considered to be a migraine trigger, although migraines may be triggered by seasonal changes and weather changes.
What is basilar migraine?
Basilar Migraine is a type of migraine that affects the basilar artery of the brain.
Can trauma cause an infarct in the brain?
Yes. Infarction is a state of tissue death due to no blood supply to that area. A trauma to any area of the body can cause the obstruction of blood flow to that area, hence causing an infarction. Though the brain is heavily protected, brain infarction can occur.
Are cereals the cause of migraine?
Migraine is a genetic neurological disease. The cause of Migraine is in the genes.
Can migraine cause brain tumor?
Migraines have never been shown to cause brain tumors, however, they may be a symptom of one or some other problem and if persistant, should be checked out by a doctor.
What are brain?
"Infarction" is a medical term for tissue damage due to occlusion of an artery supplying that tissue. It can apply to any tissue, a renal infarction being damage to some part of a kidney in this way. One only hears the term commonly, though, for the heart and the brain. A myocardial infarction is damage to heart muscle, the myocardium. This is what's commonly called a heart attack. An infarction of the brain is damage to brain tissue from lack of blood supply from a single artery, called "ischemia", the most common form of what is commonly called a stroke. Infarction of the brain is divided into damage to the cerbral cortex, called "cerebral infarction" and damage to the lower parts of the brain, called "brainstem infarction". The former is generally supplied by the carotid arteries while the latter is supplied by the vertebral arteries. Infarction can occur due to thrombosis, in which an artery closes off due to atherosclerosis, or embolism where a blood clotor other material travels to an artery feeding the brain, usually from the heart. The artery causing the infarction may remain occluded or may clear,but still having been occluded long enough to cause infarction. Symptoms of brain infarction depend on the location of the tissue damaged. They may include weakness, inability to speak, reduced vision, double vision, dizzyness, imbalance, altered sensation or confusion. The best treatment of brain infarction depends on patients presenting to the emergency room within3 hours of such symptoms, the sooner the better. Recovery from brain infarction depends on how reversible the damage to the brain tissue is. Many small infarctions improve over weeks to months. Old, small infarctions may be discovered on CT or MRI scans, apparently having occurred in the past without symptoms. Large infarctions may cause patients considerable symptoms, which may still be improving at least two years after the stroke.
What damage does a heart attack cause?
A heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI) can cause damage by brain damage, can lead to stokes, and also have the risk of having a seconf MI.
What is acute infarction?
Bone infarct refers to ischemic death of the cellular elements of the bone and marrow.
Causes of infarction in brain?
The most common cause of brain infarction is stroke, which is when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. A ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. A hemmorhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel breaks open, causing blood to leak into the brain. The risk of stroke increases with high blood pressure, age, family history, smoking, heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Drug and alcohol abuse, bleeding disorders, and head injuries can also cause bleeding into the brain.
What part of the brain is responsible for blurred vision?
A migraine can be the cause of blurred vision. So it isn't strictly localized to specific region e.g. the visual cortex http://www.answers.com/migraine?cat=health&gwp=13
Can Migraine cause headaches?
Mold can set off a migraine. I find no evidence that mold is the primary cause.
