Episodic Syndromes That May BeAssociated withMigraine: Recurrent Gastrointestinal Disturbance
ToshiyukiHikita

5.1 Introduction

The third edition of the International Classication of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) lists recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance as a subsection of 1.6 Episodic syn­dromes that may be associated with migraine [1]. It states that such syndromes often precede or coincide with the onset of migraine [2]. Subsection 1.6.1 Recurrent gas­trointestinal disturbance comprises 1.6.1.1 Cyclical vomiting syndrome and 1.6.1.2 Abdominal migraine. These conditions are discussed in Chaps. 6 and 7 of this pub­lication, “Migraine: Episodic Syndromes That May Be Associated with Migraine: Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome,” and “Migraine: Episodic Syndromes That May Be Associated with Migraine: Abdominal Migraine.”
In the second edition of the International Classication of Headache Disorders (ICHD-2), cyclical vomiting, abdominal migraine, and benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood were listed as subcategories of childhood periodic syndrome that are commonly precursors of migraine [3]. Recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance was added as a subcategory in the ICHD-3, which also provided the diagnostic criteria. These are shown in Table5.1. Previously used terms for this condition have included chronic abdominal pain, functional abdominal pain, functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, and functional abdominal pain syndrome. The ICHD-3 descrip­tion of recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance is: “Recurrent episodic attacks of abdominal pain and/or discomfort, nausea and/or vomiting, occurring infrequently, chronically or at predictable intervals, that may be associated with migraine.”

5.2 Pathophysiology

Although the pathophysiology of recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance is unclear, it is thought to be related to migraine. Symptoms may be intensied by stress, and it is believed to have a neurological etiology. Cases have been reported in which trip­tan preparations, which are used to treat migraine, are effective. These studies sug­gest that serotonin metabolism may be involved [2, 48]. Primary headache disorders, including migraine, are among the most common neurological diseases. Episodic syndromes that may be related to migraine, including recurrent gastroin­testinal disturbances such as abdominal migraine and cyclical vomiting, often pre­cede the onset of migraine or co-occur. They also may resemble the pathology of migraine [9].

5.3 Case Presentation

A 3-year and 5-month-old girl presented with recurrent upper abdominal pain occurring one to three times per week, with each episode lasting between 10min and 1h. These episodes were sometimes accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting. Before the onset of pain, she often stopped eating and would lie down. She occa­sionally reported headaches and showed signs of photophobia and reduced appetite. During episodes, she preferred quiet environments and sometimes had difculty sleeping due to the discomfort. Her medical history included atopic dermatitis and car sickness. There was a positive family history of typical migraine with aura in her mother. The patient was diagnosed with recurrent abdominal pain by the pediatri­cian and was monitored clinically, though no specic diagnostic investigations were performed. Until she was 6years and 10months old, the patient experienced epi­sodes of abdominal pain around her navel. This was accompanied by nausea, but no vomiting or diarrhea. She would sometimes complain of headaches when she had abdominal pain. There were no warning signs preceding the episodes. During the periods of pain, the patient was sensitive to sound and light, and her face was pale. From around the age of 8years and 10months, the patient complained of severe pulsating pain in the left temporal region that occurred approximately twice a month

for 2–4h. The pain worsened with routine physical activity and was accompanied by photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea. The patient was diagnosed with migraine without aura. Acetaminophen was effective against the headaches.
The patient did not experience abdominal pain after the age of 9 years and 6months. However, since the age of 9years and 6months, the patient has continued to experience migraines, with headaches occurring approximately twice a month at 15years and 2months. Acetaminophen remains effective, and the patient is under ongoing outpatient observation.

5.4 Case Discussion

Based on the intensity and duration of abdominal pain and the frequency of vomit­ing, this case did not meet the diagnostic criteria for abdominal migraine or cyclical vomiting syndrome. Although the patient in this case also complained of headaches, in some cases of recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance, headaches do not accom­pany the abdominal pain. This case met the diagnostic criteria for recurrent gastro­intestinal disturbance (Table5.1) [1]. Provided organic disease is ruled out, patients with recurrent abdominal pain are observed, but no further examinations are required. If the diagnostic criteria for abdominal migraine are met during the course of the disease, the patient is treated for abdominal migraine. In the ICHD-2, the diagnostic criterion for abdominal migraine was abdominal pain for 1h or more, but this was changed to 2h or more in the ICHD-3 [1, 3]. A previous study of recurrent abdominal pain and abdominal migraines found that recurrent abdominal pain, which is relatively mild, is more common than abdominal migraines [10]. When the duration of abdominal migraine was extended from 1 to 2h in the diagnostic crite­ria, the number of cases decreased. Relatively mild cases that do not meet the diag­nostic criteria for abdominal migraine or cyclical vomiting syndrome should be diagnosed as recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance and observed for any progres­sion. A previous study of cyclical vomiting syndrome conducted by the authors followed 25 cases for >5years. Among these, 4 (16%) patients developed abdomi­nal migraine and 11 (44%) developed migraine (Fig.5.1) [11]. This suggests a strong relationship among cyclical vomiting syndrome, a subtype of recurrent gas­trointestinal disturbance, abdominal migraine, and migraine. In addition, cases have been reported in which sumatriptan, a migraine medication, was effective against cyclical vomiting syndrome and abdominal migraine [48]. Other drugs that are effective in the prevention of migraine headaches have also been found effective in the treatment of cyclical vomiting syndrome. This suggests that these conditions share a common pathophysiology.

Fig. 5.1 Outcomes of 25 patients with cyclical vomiting syndrome. In 2008, all 25 patients had cyclical vomiting syndrome and did not have migraines at that time. Over the next 5years, 11 patients (44%) developed migraines, and 4 patients (16%) developed abdominal migraines. By 2013, more than 5years after 2008, 1 patient (4%) still had cyclical vomiting syndrome, 7 patients (28%) had migraines, and 17 patients (68%) had no symptoms

5.5 Diagnostic Algorithm

Step 1: Clinical suspicion.
Identify key symptoms:
– Recurrent distinct episodes of abdominal pain and/or discomfort and/or
nausea and/or vomiting.
– Family history of migraine.
Step 2: Initial diagnostic workup.
Inspection, auscultation, palpation:
– No organic cause of the symptom. – No trauma.
Step 3: Apply ICHD-3 diagnostic criteria (Table5.1) [1] Step 4: Classication re-evaluation.
Reassess headache classication for episodic syndrome that may be associ-
ated with migraine.

Diagnostic criteria for recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance have been described in the ICHD-3. An essential step in diagnosing recurrent gastrointestinal distur­bance is to rule out organic diseases. For example, the criteria presented in ICHD-3 are in Table5.1 [1]. It is always necessary to perform appropriate examinations before making a diagnosis of recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance. Differential diagnosis and practical examinations are described in Table5.2. There is no specic examination for recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance; a combination of examina­tions, as in Table5.2, must be conducted.

5.6 Management

In cases of recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance where the abdominal pain is severe or lasts for extended durations, blood tests and imaging are required. In such cases, the same examinations as those for abdominal migraine and cyclical vomiting

syndrome are performed to rule out other conditions (Chaps. 6 and 7). One of the diagnostic criteria for recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance is normal gastrointesti­nal examination and evaluation results. In this case, the mother had migraines, and the child suffered from car sickness. Although the child’s condition in this case persisted for a long time, it did not worsen. No medication was prescribed for the abdominal pain, and the patient was monitored without blood or imaging examina­tion. Eventually, the pain improved. In mild cases of recurrent gastrointestinal dis­turbance, routine examination is not necessary.

5.7 Conclusion

Recurrent gastrointestinal disturbances include cyclical vomiting syndrome and abdominal migraine. However, it also includes cases of recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for these conditions. Patients may have a family history of migraine. Some cases progress to migraine during follow-up. If no neurological ndings are found on examination, symptoms often improve with careful follow-up without unnecessary examination. However, it is advisable to explain to the family that, if the condition persists, the patient may develop migraine in the future.

Episodic Syndromes That May BeAssociated withMigraine: Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome
IshaqAbu-Arafeh

6.1 Introduction

Cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a childhood syndrome related to migraine. CVS presents with specic clinical features and follows a dened clinical pattern in its prognosis and response to treatment, similar to those of childhood migraine. CVS is characterised by recurrent stereotypical episodes of intense nausea and vomiting lasting between 2 and 72h, interspaced by periods of full return to normal health. Children continue to have normal general health, growth and development. Although interest in CVS and research into its clinical characteristics have increased over the past 20–30years, the initial description of the condition dates back to the late nineteenth century [1]. CVS has attracted the attention of general paediatri­cians, paediatric gastroenterologists, neurologists and headache specialists. The denition and criteria for the diagnosis, therefore, were developed as a migraine disorder within the International Classication of Headache Disorders (ICHD) and as a Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder by Gastroenterologists [2, 3]. CVS has also been reported in adult patients of all ages and is increasingly recognised as an common cause for patients referred for gastroenterology clinics [4].
This review will cover the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, progno-
sis, treatment and the impact of CVS on patients’ quality of life.
The onset of CVS can occur at any age, but is most common during early child­hood. Several studies reported the peak age of onset of CVS to be around 5–6years [5]. Both male and female children are affected almost equally. CVS have been reported from all over the world with a comparable prevalence regardless of ethnic or socio-economic background. The prevalence of CVS is estimated at around 2% in children between the ages of 5–15years in Scotland, Australia and Turkey [57],

with an estimated incidence of 3.15/100,000 children per year [8]. The prevalence of CVS in adult patients is not known, but at least one in ten new patients referred to a gastroenterology clinic may have CVS [9]. There is a very close and consistent relationship between CVS and migraine. Children with a personal or family history of migraine have an increased risk of presenting with CVS, and children with CVS have an increased risk of developing migraine late in childhood or in early adult life.

6.2 Pathogenesis

Despite the close relationship between migraine and CVS, the pathogenesis of CVS continues to be a subject of speculation and controversy. Underlying genetic predis­position for CVS has been shown in clinical and epidemiological studies to be closely associated with migraine. The molecular genetics of both migraine and CVS are very likely to be complex and polygenic, and continue to be a target for research. However, single-gene mutations have been reported in patients with familial hemi­plegic migraine involving the voltage-gated calcium channel (CACNA1A), sodium­potassium ATPase channels (ATP1A2), and the voltage-gated sodium channels (SCN1A) and PRRT2 [10]. In some patients with CVS, a single-gene mutation on the Ryanodine Receptor 2 (RYR2) has been detected. It may have a signicant asso­ciation with the disease [11].
Mitochondrial gene mutations and polymorphism have also been investigated to delineate the suspected maternal role in the disease inheritance [1214].
Mechanisms that initiate and maintain an episode of CVS may involve one or more pathways including autonomic and neuroendocrine dysfunction, hypothalamic­pituitary- adrenal axis activation and the dysregulation of the central nervous system emetic centre and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) [12, 13, 15]. Dysregulation of the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1) in the brain may also play a role in the patho­genesis of CVS, as has been shown in chronic use of cannabis and a possible disor­der of endogenous cannabinoid metabolism presenting with a syndrome of recurrent vomiting [16]. Functional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) studies have shown altered intrinsic connectivity of the sensorimotor network, specically salience to the mid-posterior insula, in patients with migraine and CVS compared to healthy control individuals [17].

6.3 Case Presentation

Adam presented at the age of 6years with a chief complaint of recurrent episodes of intense nausea and vomiting with no apparent reason. His parents reported that he had been seen and assessed by physicians many times since he was 3years old. Adam is well and healthy between episodes, and he has achieved excellent growth and development.
