ABSTRACT

La migraña oftalmopléjica es una condición de la infancia caracterízada por crisis de severa cefalea hemicraneal seguida de parálisis ipsolateral de los nervios tercero, cuarto o sexto. Modernamente se explica mediante la teoría trigémino-vascular de la migraña. Aunque suele ser autolimitada puede dejar secuelas. Los autores comunican los casos de cuatro pacientes: tres niños con parálisis del tercer nervio craneal: una de ellas, desarrolló en el tiempo una regeneración aberrante secundaria, situación excepcional descrita en la literatura internacional en menos de diez pacientes. El último, un adulto con dos episodios de parálisis del sexto nervio craneal y una del tercer nervio. Se discuten sus manifestaciones clínicas y neurorradiológicas.


Ophthalmoplegic migraine in childhood is a painful migraine or headache complicated by an isolated III, IV or VI oculo-motor nerve palsy followed by total resolution without sequelae. The pathogenesis is unclear, however, more recently an hypothesis of trigeminovascular system activation have been proposed. The authors reported four patients with ophthalmoplegic migraine: three children with third cranial nerve palsy; one of them developed secondary aberrant regeneration of the third nerve. It is an exceptional case, because in the international literature less than ten patients had been reported. One case was an adult patient with recurrent nerve palsy (two episodes of sixth cranial nerve palsy and one event of third nerve palsy). Clinical and neuroradiological manifestations are discussed.
