Extractions: Central Retinal Artery Occlusion By Christiane Haddad, MD Central retinal artery occlusive disease (CRAO) is one of the most sudden and dramatic events seen in ophthalmology, though a less frequent chronic form also exists. It remains a disease of poor visual prognosis despite a multitude of studies and experimental trials. CAUSES The most common association is atherosclerosis followed by arterial hypertension. Carotid artery disease occurs in 45%. The difference in etiology depends on age; if presentation is at less than 30 years, it is more associated with migraine, trauma and coagulation disorders. I. Embolization A. Emboli from the heart can be: calcific, from aortic or mitral valve calcifications vegetations, from bacterial endocarditis thrombi, after myocardial infarction mural thrombi and with mitral valve prolapse myxomatous, from atrial myxomas mainly to the left eye B.

Media Migraine Headaches Signs And Symptoms of Migraine Two Categories of Migraine Migraine Without Aura (Common Migraine) Migraine With Aura (Classical Migraine) See Also: Phases Of Migraine A migraine is characterized by flashes of light that appear across the field of vision, problems with speech, numbness or dizziness. Migraine pains are typically intense and, at their worst; are debilitating, with weakness, nausea, sweating and vomiting. The senses are heightened and the slightest noise, light or movement unbearable. Usually, the pain is localized or especially intense on one side of the head or over one eye. The person may also suffer from irritability. He or she usually wants to be left alone and out of any direct light. About one in five migraine sufferers will experience an "aura" minutes before the onset of a headache. Women report seeing flashes of light and zigzag patterns and sometimes experiencing speech impairment, confusion and numbness in their faces and limbs. From beginning to end, migraine attacks may last for hours to days. In addition to the symptoms described, patients with migraine (with or without aura) may experience a prodrome, or symptoms which occur up to 48 hours before the actual migraine attack begins. Some patients, for example, may have food cravings, changes in mood, irritability, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, nausea, diarrhea or excessive yawning.

Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Headache Migraine headaches affect 17% of females and 6% of males in the United States. Before puberty, boys and girls get migraines at about the same rate, although boys may get them slightly more often. In individuals older than 12 years, the frequency of migraines increases in both males and females. The frequency declines in individuals older than 40 years. In the United States, white women have the highest frequency of migraine, while Asian women have the lowest. The female-to-male ratio increases from 2.5:1 at puberty to 3.5:1 at age 40 years, after which it declines. The rate of migraine headaches in females of reproductive age has increased over the last 20 years. Migraine Headaches, Causes The causes of migraine headaches are not clearly understood. In the 1940s, it was proposed that a migraine begins with a spasm, or partial closing, of the arteries leading to the main part of the brain (called the cerebrum). The first spasm decreases blood supply to part of the brain, which causes the aura (lights, haze, zig-zag lines, or other symptoms) that some people experience. These same arteries then become too relaxed, which increases blood flow and causes pain. About 30 years later, the chemicals dopamine and serotonin were found to play a role in migraine headaches. (These chemicals are called neurotransmitters.) Dopamine and serotonin are normally found in the brain, but they can cause blood vessels to act in uncharacteristic ways if they are present in abnormal amounts or if the blood vessels are unusually sensitive to them.

Incidence of the condition is approximately 1 in 5,000. The condition manifests as a thinning of the corneal apex, or central area of the cornea. With the weakening of the tissue there is a bulging of the tissue which increases the myopia of the affected eye. Initial correction is via spectacles whereby reasonable vision can be attained. Subsequent treatment is via a rigid contact lens which will provide a new front surface to the optical system of the eye. There is more information about this condition from the CLEK study at

Extractions: Unraveling the Mystery of Migraine As printed in Hearing Health , volume 20:3, Fall 2004 Richard E. Gans, Ph.D., FAAA According to the American Academy of Neurology, nearly 28 million Americans suffer from migraine. The most disruptive effects of this neurological disorder are excruciating headache pain and/or other disorienting symptoms. Because these symptoms are often so overwhelming, migraine is estimated to cost the economy about $13 billion defining it. There is such variability across cases that providing an all-inclusive definition is challenging. The International Headache Society (IHS) provides a descriptive framework that defines migraine by specific characteristics. According to the IHS, the disorder displays: recurrent attacks; limited duration of each attack (from four to 72 hours); sensitivity to physical activity; and pain that has a unilateral location, a pulsating quality and intensity sufficient to interrupt daily activities. Associated symptoms include nausea, vomiting and hypersensitivity to light and sound.
