Abstract Aim: The aim of the study is to analyse and classify headaches occurring in patients with epilepsy and study the pattern of headaches associated with different types of epilepsies . Setting and design : It is a Cross Sectional Descriptive study of Patients with epilepsy who have headache either inter- ictally or periictally or both were taken up for the study. Materials and Methods | 2016 4 | October-December 3 | Issue Vol Study Design: Cross Sectional Descriptive study. Study Population: Patients with epilepsy who have headache either interictally or peri ictally or both who attended Neurology O.P. Government General Hospital, Chennai during the study period (July 2003 to August 2005) were taken up for the study. Inclusion Criteria: Patients with epilepsy who have inter ictal headache of >3 months duration antecedent to or after the onset of seizures and Patients with epilepsy who have peri ictal headache Exclusion Criteria: Patients with epilepsy who developed sudden onset severe headache, headache with systemic signs such as fever, neck stiffness, cutaneous rash, headache with papilloedema, headache triggered by cough, exertion or valsalva maneuver were excluded from the study. Patients with epilepsy who have either interictal or perictal headaches who did not have any features of exclusion criteria were selected for the study. Statistical analysis used : SPSS software Results : The total number of patients studied were 124 of which males comprised 33% (n=42) and females 66% (n= 82). The most common type of seizures seen were generalised tonic clonic seizures which is 42% of patients (n=52) and 38.7% of patients (n=48) have secondary generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Among 48 patients with 2*GTCS, 27 cases were of simple partial seizures with secondary generalisation and 21 were of complex partial in nature with secondary generaliza- tion. Interictal headache was present in 82 patients (66.6%) and seizure associated headache in 42 patients (33.4%) with epilepsy. Among 77 patients with primary headache, migraine type headache was seen in 54% (n=45) of patients and Tension type headache occurred in 30.4% (n=25) of patients, Episodic cluster headache was seen in one patient and pri- mary stabbing headache was seen in 6 patients with epilepsy. Secondary headache was seen in 6% (n=5) of patients with epilepsy. Among 42 patients with seizure associated headache, 24 (19.3%) had headache which might be an ictus without accompanying seizure activity classified as headache which could not be elsewhere classified (14.1) and 18 had (14.5%) pre ictal, ictal or post ictal headache. Conclusion : The most common type of seizures seen in patients with headache is primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures with primary headache seen in 94% of patients and secondary headache in the remaining. Migraine without aura type of headache is the most common primary headache seen interictally in patients with epilepsy. There is no specific correlation between headache subtype and type of epilepsy. Seizure associated headaches is seen in 14.5% of patients either as pre ictal, ictal or post ictal headache.

The case reported is that of a 9-year-old girl with brief episodes (of a few minutes) of severe frontal headache, which cor- responded to the presence of concurrent spikes and slow waves, starting in the right temporal area. A dysplastic lesion of the right temporal lobe was observed by MRI and the patient received surgery, with subsequent dis- appearance of headaches. This case highlights ictal EEG as the main dia- gnostic tool for epileptic headache. We discuss the terminology regarding this type of manifestation and believe that cases without subsequent epileptic manifestations, as in the present case, should be more appropri- ately referred to as “pure ictal epileptic headache” or simply “pure epileptic headache”.

  • Post-Epileptic Headache and Migraine
    J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.50.9.1148 on 1 September 1987. Downloaded from Journal ofNeurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 1987;50:1148-1152 Post-epileptic headache and migraine F SCHON, J N BLAU From the National Hospitalsfor Nervous Diseases, Maida Vale Hospital, London, UK SUMMARY One hundred epileptic patients were questioned about their headaches. Post-ictal head- aches occurred in 51 of these patients and most commonly lasted 6-72 hours. Major seizures were more often associated with post-epileptic headaches than minor attacks. Nine patients in this series of 100 also had migraine: in eight of these nine a typical, albeit a mild, migraine attack was provoked by fits. The post-ictal headache in the 40 epileptics who did not have migraine was accompanied by vomiting in 11 cases, photophobia in 14 cases and vomiting with photophobia in 4 cases. Further- more, post-epileptic headache was accentuated by coughing, bending and sudden head movements and relieved by sleep. It is, therefore, clear that seizures provoke a syndrome similar to the headache phase of migraine in 50% of epileptics. It is proposed that post-epileptic headache arises intra- cranially and is related to the vasodilatation known to follow seizures. The relationship of post- epileptic headache to migraine is discussed in the light of current ideas on migraine pathogenesis, in particular the vasodilation which accompanies Leao's spreading cortical depression.

Little is known about post-epileptic headaches, al- including nausea and vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, though their occurrence is accepted by patients and and visual disturbances were also noted.

  • Headache in Epilepsy: Prevalence and Clinical Features
    Mainieri et al. The Journal of Headache and Pain (2015) 16:72 DOI 10.1186/s10194-015-0556-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Headache in epilepsy: prevalence and clinical features G Mainieri1,2, S Cevoli1, G Giannini1,2, L Zummo1,2,3, C Leta1,2, M Broli1,2, L Ferri1,2, M Santucci1,2, A Posar1,2, P Avoni1,2, P Cortelli1,2, P Tinuper1,2 and Francesca Bisulli1,2* Abstract Background: Headache and epilepsy are two relatively common neurological disorders and their relationship is still a matter of debate. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence and clinical features of inter-ictal (inter-IH) and peri-ictal headache (peri-IH) in patients with epilepsy. Methods: All patients aged ≥ 17 years referring to our tertiary Epilepsy Centre were consecutively recruited from March to May 2011 and from March to July 2012. They underwent a semi-structured interview including the International Classification Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) criteria to diagnose the lifetime occurrence of headache.χ2-test, t-test and Mann–Whitney test were used to compare clinical variables in patients with and without inter-IH and peri-IH. Results: Out of 388 enrolled patients 48.5 % had inter-IH: migraine in 26.3 %, tension-type headache (TTH) in 19.1 %, other primary headaches in 3.1 %. Peri-IH was observed in 23.7 %: pre-ictally in 6.7 %, ictally in 0.8 % and post-ictally in 19.1 %. Comparing patients with inter-ictal migraine (102), inter-ictal TTH (74) and without inter-IH (200), we found that pre-ictal headache (pre-IH) was significantly represented only in migraineurs (OR 3.54, 95 % CI 1.88-6.66, P < 0.001).

Peri-ictal headache occurred in 47 of 100 (47%) patients.
