Treatment Protocols Eye Diseases Astigmatism Astigmatism is one of a group of eye conditions known as refractive errors. Refractive errors cause a disturbance in the way that light rays are focused within the eye. Astigmatism often occurs with nearsightedness and farsightedness, conditions also resulting from refractive errors. Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have "bad eyes." It simply means that you have a variation or disturbance in the shape of your cornea.

Extractions: A neurological disorder, characterized by paralysis of the oculomotor nerve accompanied with periodic migraine. It begins as severe vomiting and ohthalmodynya. After an attack, there is a gradual diminishing of symptoms until mydriasis becomes the only sign. After 3 to 5 days of onset, when pain subsides, it is frequently followed by hemiparesis. Recovery usually follows afte a few days. It is believed to be caused by compression of the third cranial nerve between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebral arteries. Occur in young adults.

Extractions: Background Classification of Migraine Treatment Guidelines Guidelines for Preventive Therapy ... Slide Show In an attempt to rationalize diverse and sometimes contradictory guidelines, the International Headache Society (IHS) devised consensus classification and diagnostic criteria for headaches in 1988. The IHS defined migraine as intermittent attacks of headache lasting 4 to 72 hours, accompanied by autonomic symptoms. Headache pain must meet at least two of four IHS criteria to be considered migrainous: unilateral, pulsating or throbbing; at least moderately severe; aggravated by activity; and accompanied by autonomic symptoms. The IHS divides headaches into primary (Table 1) and secondary disorders. Tension headaches, which are experienced by 70% of people at one time or another, result from muscular tension or stress. Migraine ranks second to tension headaches in prevalence but requires greater utilization of medical resources because of the greater disability it inflicts. Cluster headaches, an uncommon type, are marked by frequent attacks of minor pain in cycles lasting weeks or months followed by lengthy remissions. Etiologies of secondary headaches include vascular disorders, intracranial pathology, sinusitis or other infection, metabolic derangements, or the effects of (or withdrawal from) drugs, toxins, or alcohol.

Extractions: Vascular headaches are the second most frequently occurring primary headaches. Such headaches are caused by blood vessel abnormalities and constitute about 8% of all headaches. Migraine has been considered the most common vascular headache since the 17 th century. In the past few decades, however, evidence has strongly suggested that it is a much more complex brain disorder, which involves a complicated interaction of nerve cells and blood vessel dilation. Secondary Headache.
Extractions: Classical migraine, unlike common migraine, is accompanied by focal neurological symptoms which include visual, speech, motor or sensory disturbances. Rarer forms include ophthalmoplegic, basilar and hemiplegic migraine. All are probably associated with neurotransmitter leakage through small vessels. The prevalence of migraine is thought to be in the region of 8 per cent. Women are more often affected, and about two-thirds of patients give a family history of the condition. Certain forms of hemiplegic migraine are inherited as an autosomal dominant characteristic. The vast majority of migraine sufferers develop symptoms before the age of 40 and most have the common form of the condition. One of the hallmarks of classical migraine is a visual disturbance in which a hemianopic scotoma with jagged bright edges (scintillations) gradually enlarges and then recedes over a period of about 20 minutes (Fig 10.2). Almost all migraine sufferers experience nausea, though not necessarily in every attack. Vomiting may be profuse and violent (Fig 10.3). The headache, which varies greatly in severity, is unilateral in about half of the attacks. Occasionally it spreads to the neck and face. Typically, attacks last about 4-24 hours, though variation is prominent even in the same patient. The pain is not necessarily pulsatile, though it tends to become so during sudden movement of the head, or during straining. Photophobia and phonophobia are common.
