Study Design: Case report. Participant: A 12 years old boy presenting with painful unilateral, recurrent ptosis. Discussion: The incidence of childhood migraine in general has been estimated at between 2% and 5.7%. The ophthalmoplegic migraine is quite rare and constitutes 0.16% of childhood migraine. Third nerve involvement is most common. A typical clinical syndrome emerges in a child or young adult with periodic headache associated with ophthalmoplegia involving all functions of the third nerve, beginning at the height of an attack of cephalgia, which is primarily unilateral and in the orbital region; the paresis lasts for days to weeks following the cessation of headache; recovery is gradual and tends to be less complete after repeated attacks. MRI may show enhancement of third nerve. Systemic steroids have shown promising results. The present case report is quite typical of those reported elsewhere:

Photodynamic Therapy It is estimated that 22 million Americans suffer from migraines and this can be a debilitating condition for up to 85% of them. New research regarding the brains processing of pain has lead to a discovery of new medications that can help restore a pain free state. Migraines come in many forms. The common element is that they are a result of a blood vessel spasm. These spasms can be within the brain or within the eye itself. Not all migraines result in severe headache and many have visual complications. Migraines are classified as to their type of presentation. The common migraine is a headache without visual symptoms. The classic migraine is one in which there is visual ora followed by the headache. Other migraines can simply give the visual symptoms without the headache and these are called acephalgic migraines. Migraines can occur in clusters as well and effect the eye alone. We will discuss each of the types of migraines and then their treatment in the subsequent paragraphs. An acephalgic migraine is one in which the individual gets the visual symptom described above, but it is not followed by the headache. Most of these patients feel they have an eye problem and often end up in the eye doctor's office because of the scintillating blind spot. Ophthalmic migraines are a very rare condition. They occur most often in children with transient paralysis of the muscles that move the eye. This diagnosis is often difficult and one of exclusion of other serious central nervous system problems.

Optic Atrophy This site divides disorders of th eye and visual system into the following chief complaints: visual loss, abnormalities of the eye movements and pupils, inflamed eyes, eyelid disorders, eye problems in infants, and eye trauma. I.) Visual Loss Visual loss can be divided into four different types. Using simple exam techniques, the source of the visual loss can be localized, quickly narrowing the differential diagnosis. A simple way to organize the differential diagnosis of visual loss is to think of the visual axis from anterior to posterior: A. Anterior chamber: refractive error (cornea, lens) B.

Extractions: How to Diagnose and Manage Headaches. A probing patient history can help you sort through the symptoms. by Leonid Skorin Jr., O.D., D.O., Dixon, Ill Almost everyone gets a headache at some point in his or her life. Nine out of 10 have at least one headache in any given year.1 Most people treat themselves. Others, maybe 5 to 15 percent, seek a physician's care. They account for some 18 million outpatient visits annually to hospitals and healthcare clinics. Most of these patients (90 percent) suffer from a vascular headache, a tension headache, or a mixture of the two. The others have conditions that lead to inflammation, traction or dilatation of pain-sensitive structures of the head and neck. Anytime a patient comes to you complaining of a headache, you're confronted with a wide range of diagnostic possibilities. Most people who seek attention for head pain have some sort of primary headache disorder, whether a migraine, tension-type or cluster headache. Often we're called upon to evaluate someone whose headache is accompanied by visual symptoms or discomfort in or around the eye. Always remember that a headache may be a symptom of a serious underlying condition calling for an immediate diagnostic workup and treatment. These cases often require laboratory and radiographic studies and a neurological consult. Clinical Evaluation
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.

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. One of the most important contributions primary care can make in managing migraine is to prevent the evolution of the episodic syndrome of migraine into the biopsychosocial disease of chronic migraine. As with acute therapy, early interventions with education, lifestyle changes, and medications can prevent significant disability for this population of patients and decrease the impact of migraine on the health care system and society in general. Thus, migraine prevention is a critical component of care for the migraine patient.

It is not likely to take life but can destroy the quality of life at what might have been its most rewarding moments Studies have shown the incidence of migraine to be 9-10%, about 17% of the female population and 6% of the male population. So, about 2 million Australians can be expected to suffer from migraine, about 1.5 million women and about 500,000 men. It is thought that more women suffer migraine than men due to hormonal factors.

In Brief: Migraine patients who are physically active may find that exercise can provoke a migraine attack or that regular exercise helps reduce the severity of their headaches. After the diagnosis of migraine has been made with a complete history and physical examination, the next steps are to identify the triggers, such as certain foods or changes in sleep schedule, and design an individualized treatment plan. If exercise is a trigger, nondrug measures such as adequate warm-up, nutrition, and hydration during activity are important. Whether the triggers are exercise-related or not, exercise and other general measures may be beneficial adjuncts to the appropriate abortive, pain-relief, or prophylactic drug regimen. B ecause migraine is such a common disorder and because many Americans exercise regularly, it's likely that many migraine sufferers lead physically active lives. A migraine patient's exercise habits should be considered in devising a treatment plan, for several reasons. One is that vigorous exercise can trigger a migraine in some patients. A second is that the choice of pharmacologic therapy for migraine may influence the patient's ability to exercise. Finally, as a part of a balanced life-style, exercise may help prevent migraines or limit their severity. A recent epidemiologic study (1) estimates that the prevalence of migraine in the general population is 23% to 29% of women and 15% to 20% of men. Migraine has a major impact on the economy because of lost work days, lost income, and the money spent on medical care and drugs. Exercise, for some patients, is one more life element compromised by this condition.

Extractions: Currents: Summer 2001, Volume 2, Number 3 Lynne Geweke, M. D. Highlights: History: Headache is a symptom that can have many causes. It may occur in isolation or as a manifestation of an underlying disorder. While in the latter cases the cause will be identified sooner or later, in the former cases the cause remains a mystery. Therefore, classification of headache to aid in diagnosis and, subsequently, treatment cannot be based exclusively on etiologic criteria. As a result, the treatment of headache has long been empiric, and treatment paradigms have followed the evolution of our understanding of the biological processes associated with headache.

Here, loss of vision refers to a severe blurring of the vision in one or both eyes often to the point that almost no detail can be made out. There may be large blind spots in the vision, or the appearance that something is blocking the vision. With these symptoms, there is almost always a cause for the visual loss other than a simple change in glasses. Many things that cause blurred vision can also cause a loss of vision, if the condition is severe enough. These conditions are discussed on the

Extractions: Verify here. Objectives Help us help Honors nominated for Migraine Stages Jochem Rieger Visual symptoms are by far most frequent. From those who suffer from migraine with aura almost everyone has experienced visual symptoms, and those with several types of aura symptoms have visual aura in many attacks, while other symptoms, like sensory, motor or aphasic aura are present only in a small number of their attacks (Russell and Olesen, 1996). This does not necessarily imply that that visual cortex is more susceptible for the aura, because a large cortical area is involved in visual processing (Tootell et al., 1996). Only about 3% of the total volume of the human cortex is occupied by the primary visual cortex, also called striate cortex, or V1. A much larger region is non-primary visual cortex (Sereno and Tootell, 2005). This "extra" non-primary cortex consists of multiple areas, denoted V2, V2, V3, V4, MST, MT, and by other abbreviations. Each area fulfills a rather specific functional task. It remains to be seen, whether the percentage area of cortex occupied by a specific sensory system matches the prevalence of the corresponding aura symptom.

Extractions: Floaters (muscae volitantes - "flying flies") are spots before the eyes of different shapes, sizes and number. They appear often when looking at a plain coloured field of view, eg blue sky, a wall. Typically when the patient tries to look at them they report that the spots "run- away". The spots are due to corpuscles circulating in the retinal vessels and specks within the vitreous. These opacities cause shadows to be cast onto the retinal sensory apparatus; the rods and cones; and thereby appear as dark spots in the field of vision. Slight cases or observations require no treatment. There are other retinal and vitreous conditions that may cause increased presence of floaters indicative of more serious complications, for example, vitreous or retinal detachment. It is therefore advisable in the presence of an increased occurrence of floaters that you get a check-up by a eyecare professional.
