Extractions: Understanding Migraine: Pathophysiology and Presentation By Jeff Unger, MD, Roger K. Cady, MD, and Kathleen Farmer-Cady, PsyD Dr. Unger is director of the Chino Medical Group Headache Intervention Center in Chino, California. He is also a member of the EMERGENCY MEDICINE editorial board and an associate editor on the editorial board of THE FEMALE PATIENT, another Quadrant HealthCom, Inc., publication. Dr. Cady is the director and Dr. Farmer-Cady the administrator of the Headache Care Center at Primary Care Network, Inc., in Springfield, Missouri. They are also co-founders of the Primary Care Network. Even though some 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches, most migraineurs have not actually had their condition diagnosed by a physician, and they self-medicate with over-the-counter analgesics. In 1989, the American Migraine Study I reported that of those individuals interviewed by telephone who had headache symptoms meeting the accepted diagnostic criteria for migraine, only 39% had been diagnosed by a physician. The American Migraine Study II published in 1999 found that half of all migraineurs interviewed continued to be undiagnosed. Today, 39% of migraineurs do not seek medical attention for their disabling headaches, and 21% of diagnosed headache patients discontinue medical care because of frustrations over inadequate treatment.
Extractions: What are eye migraines? What are commonly called eye migraines are actually a group of different types of migraine, including ocular migraines (or occular), ophthalmic migraines, a type of silent or acephalgic migraine, and even ophthalmoplegic migraines. Confused? Don't worry, you'll see it all clearly in a moment (oops, sorry!)... First, you need to remember that pain is only one possible symptom of migraine see the article on symptoms ). Other symptoms include nausea, congestion, and visual symptoms. Silent migraine or acephalgic migraine is migraine without the headache. Eye migraines silent migraine: If this is you, you may be getting strange visual disturbances, usually lasting less than an hour, but no headache. This is quite possibly a type of migraine, and needs to be treated in basically the same way as any other type of migraine. However, you do need to make sure you see a good doctor so that she can rule out other problems that can do permanent damage. Eye migraines Occular migraines: Ocular or retinal migraines are quite rare. You get partial (retinal) or complete (ocular) blindness, usually in just one eye. This disturbance lasts less than an hour. The headache (often a dull ache behind the affected eye) usually happens afterwards, but can happen before or even during (our bodies are so unpredictable!). This type of migraine varies with which artery is being hit.

Extractions: MENIERES AND MIGRAINES Neurotology of Migraine Robert W. Baloh, MD Migraine is a disease characterized by periodic headaches, but patients often experience other symptoms including dizziness and hearing loss and, in some, these can be the only symptoms. Since most patients equate migraine with headache, it can be difficult to convince them that symptoms other than headache are due to migraine. Comments such as "But, doctor, I don't have a 'migraine' with my dizziness" or "I came to see you because of my dizziness. I haven't had a migraine for at least a year" are common in our Neurotology Clinic. Until we understand the pathophysiology of migraine, it will remain difficult to educate patients and their physicians on the relationship between migraine and neurotologic symptoms. Furthermore, there is debate as to whether migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) are distinct syndromes, different manifestations of the same disorder, or part of a continuum. Patients can have both types of attacks (with and without aura), and not infrequently, both types of migraine run in the same family (see below). The headache phases of both types of migraine are almost identical, and the same treatments are usually effective for both types of migraine. Conversely, certain epidemiological characteristics, overall familial aggregation, and varying pathophysiologic findings suggest that these two types of migraine may be separate entities.

( references Specialty Definitions: Retinal Domain Definitions 1. pertaining to the retina. 2. the aldehyde of retinol, derived by the oxidative enzymatic splitting of absorbed dietary carotene, and having vitamin A activity. In the retina, retinal combines with opsins to form visual pigments. One isomer, 11-cis retinal combines with opsin in the rods (scotopsin) to form rhodopsin, or visual purple. Another, all-trans retinal (trans-r.); visual yellow; xanthopsin) results from the bleaching of rhodopsin by light, in which the 11-cis form is converted to the all-trans form. Retinal also combines with opsins in the cones (photopsins) to form the three pigments responsible for colour vision. Called also retinal , and retinene1. (

Extractions: Retinal Detachment Normal Retina Inferior Retinal Detachment Retinal detachment is an important cause of visual loss. Anyone can develop a retinal detachment - but the chance without associated risk factors is relatively low. The risk of a retinal detachment in the general population is approximately 1 in 10, 000 persons per year. Risk factors include : previous intraocular surgery including cataract surgery , a history of retinal detachment in the fellow eye , a high degree of pre-existing nearsightedness , a familial history of retinal detachments , prematurity at birth, and pre-existing retinal pathology including known retinal breaks and lattice degeneration and retinoschisis . Several kinds of retinal detachment can occur including : a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, an exudative retinal detachment , and a tractional retinal detachment . An exudative retinal detachment can occur in the presence of an intraocular tumor such as an ocular melanoma or in certain relatively uncommon inflammatory eye conditions including posterior scleritis and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. A tractional retinal detachment can occur as a result of proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( see diabetic retinopathy ) , retinopathy of prematurity seen in low birth weight and premature infants , and previous significant eye trauma .

Extractions: DESCRIPTION: Paroxysmal headache lasting 4-72 hours. Episodes vary in frequency from more than once a week to less than one per year with symptoms abating completely between attacks. Premonitory symptoms consisting of non-specific symptoms occur frequently hours to days before headache. Most frequent sub-types are: Without aura - (common migraine) defining over 80% of attacks With aura - (classic migraine) characterized by focal disruption of neurological function begins and ends prior to headache onset Variants of migraine include: Transformed migraine - chronic headache pattern evolving from episodic migraine. Migraine-like attacks are superimposed on a daily or near-daily headache pattern, e.g., tension headache. Basilar migraine - occipital headache, with aura symptoms of dysarthria, vertigo, tinnitus, ataxia, and bilateral paresis or bilateral paresthesias Hemiplegic migraine - aura consisting of hemiplegia and/or hemiparesis Ophthalmoplegic - palsy of the ipsilateral third cranial nerve during the headache phase Retinal - symptoms of retinal vascular involvement during headache Childhood periodic syndromes - (migraine equivalents) recurrent often cyclic episodes of symptoms Status migrainous - persistent migraine which does not resolve spontaneously Migrainous stroke - persistent or permanent neurologic deficits persisting beyond migraine attack usually with neuro-imaging changes Chronic migraine - migraine-like headaches greater than 15 days a month for greater than 6 months

Extractions: Home Lectures INTRODUCTION Migraine Migraine is the most common cause of transient visual loss in the young, but also occurs in the elderly. Migraine although common, is a diagnosis of exclusion. Migraine is discussed in the systemic ophthalmology lecture to differentiate its presentation from amaurosis fugax. **Migraines are NOT all associated with headache, although many are.** Patients with migrainous visual loss usually have a history of headaches since childhood, or a strong family history. There may be trigger factors that are dietary (e.g. caffeine or tyramine), stress-related or hormonal. Car sickness with reading, and ice cream headaches are common migraine "equivalents". The vasospasm of migraine may affect the cerebral or ocular circulation. Patients may mistake

R etinal detachment is relatively uncommon, affecting only one in 10,000 people per year, or approximately one in 300 patients in the course of a lifetime. Retinal detachment often is repaired with little or no vision loss; therefore, it is a much less significant cause of irreversible blindness than other retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Retinal detachment should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vision loss, however, because it is more prevalent in defined subpopulations and may require urgent surgical repair. Pathogenesis of Retinal Detachment The retina is a neurosensory tissue that lines the interior posterior two thirds of the eye (Figure 1, left)
