What is basilar migraine?
A basilar migraine is also an unusual migraine type but it too can be associated with dramatic and frightening symptoms. It occurs more frequently in teenage girls. Some of the dramatic symptoms which are associated with basilar migraine include complete or partial loss of vision, ringing in the ears, dizziness or spinning sensation and loss of balance. Blackouts and confusion can also occur. Children or adolescents may be wrongly accused of being intoxicated because they may stagger or appear confused during a basilar migraine episode.
