“…Following exclusion of 53 items, 109 items comprising 504 cases were reviewed. A total of 53 items were labeled as “Cases—Structural” (70 individual case reports in total) 12–64 (Table ), 34 as “Cases—Nonstructural” (50 individual case reports in total) 65–98 (Table ), and 19 as “Groups” (384 cases in total) 99–117 (Table ). In addition, from two case series of three patients, 118,119 three cases were included in “Cases—Structural,” and three in “Cases—Other.” In one case, additional information was gathered from a previous report of the same case 38,120 …”

Objective To determine if a clinical presentation indistinguishable from migraine can occur due to an underlying condition or pathology, that is, "symptomatic migraine." Background It is currently not clear whether migraine truly can be caused by an underlying condition or pathology. Characterization of the etiology and clinical features of possible symptomatic migraine is of significant clinical importance and further may help elucidate the pathophysiology of migraine. Methods We devised operational diagnostic criteria for “symptomatic migraine” and “possible symptomatic migraine” requiring strong evidence for a causal relation between underlying cause and migraine symptoms adhering strictly to diagnostic criteria. PubMed was searched for case reports of symptomatic migraine from inception to March 2020. Only articles published in English or German were included. No restrictions were placed on study design. Relevant references in the articles were also included. Papers were systematically reviewed by two independent reviewers for detailed clinical features of migraine as well as the proposed underlying conditions and the effects of treatment of these conditions. Results Our search retrieved 1726 items. After screening, 109 papers comprising 504 cases were reviewed in detail. Eleven patients with migraine with aura (MWA) fulfilled our working criteria for symptomatic migraine, and 39 patients fulfilled our criteria for possible symptomatic migraine. The most common etiologies of symptomatic migraine were arteriovenous malformations, carotid stenosis, dissection or aneurysm, brain infarctions, meningioma, and various intra‐axial tumors. Conclusions Symptomatic MWA, indistinguishable from idiopathic MWA, may occur due to cortical lesions or microembolization. We found no clear evidence supporting the existence of symptomatic migraine without aura although we did identify possible cases. Our findings are limited by the available literature, and we suggest that prospective studies are needed.

“…A number of the early articles on headache disorders were published by Farias da Silva and coworkers in the scientific journal Neurobiologia (Recife), which is one of the oldest journals in the area of neurology in Latin America, founded in 1943 by Ulysses Pernambucano. Another important journal containing articles on headache written by Brazilians is Arquivos de Neuropsiquiatria , which was founded in 1945 …”

Headache Research and Medical Practice in Brazil: An Historical Overview

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since the creation of the Brazilian Headache Society in 1978, substantial developments have taken place in both research and clinical practice in the field of headache medicine in Brazil. The Society now has almost 300 members throughout the country, actively working to improve the health of the general population and, in particular, diagnose and treat headache disorders. In addition, in a few large cities, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Ribeirão Preto, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre, headache specialists have come together to promote research projects and increase knowledge in the field through MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral programs. Furthermore, scientific journals have emerged and books have been published to record and disseminate Brazilian scientific production in headache medicine. In this narrative review, we will briefly describe some important aspects of headache medicine in Brazil from prehistoric times to the present day, discuss the origin of headache medicine as a specialty in Brazil, the principal publications dealing with headache disorders, the use of plants and other unconventional forms of treatment used by faith healers, the main training centers, and the research produced to date by Brazilians. In conclusion, in recent years enormous progress has been made in headache medicine in Brazil stimulating us to review and expand our role in an increasingly international scenario.
