Basilar Artery Migraine means disorder of the major brain artery located at the base of the brain. This disease is more common in children than in adults. It starts with visual disturbance in one eye and slowly spreads till it covers the entire field of vision.
The basilar artery serves as the visual center of the brain. It includes the cerebellum that serves as the balance center and is located at the back of the head. A patient of basilar artery migraine experiences physical imbalance, double vision and vertigo.
Basilar artery migraine is known for its aura symptoms. Sometime, this aura is so strong that its leads to temporary blindness. This stage of headache normally lasts for 5-60 minutes, but sometimes it might continue for days together. The patient experiences a severe headache on both the sides of the head. It is different from other common migraines in which the patient experiences one-sided headache.
