Altered Cerebral Excitability And Spreading Depression. Causes For The Comorbidity Of Epilepsy And Migraine?
Der Nervenarzt(2003)
Abstract
Increased co-occurrence and common clinical aspects of epilepsy and migraine lead to the question of a common pathophysiological model of the diseases. Shared genetic risk factors as an explanation for comorbidity could not be proven. Clinical studies underline the unspecific association of migraine and epilepsy. Comorbidity is based on spreading depression as an expression of altered brain state with neuronal hyperexcitability. In comorbid conditions, therapy with valproate, gabapentin, or topiramate may be effective.
