OBJECTIVE
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been linked to migraine, and an improvement in migraine prevalence or frequency has been reported after PFO closure for other reasons. We sought to identify whether there is a specific patient population of migraineurs which may be more susceptible to
BACKGROUND
The recently found association between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and transient global amnesia (TGA) has suggested that paradoxical microembolization in the terminal vertebrobasilar territory might underlie at least some TGA cases. Migraine with visual aura is another paroxysmal
After a normal pregnancy and labour in a 29-year-old parturient, a single seizure followed by a transient headache was observed during the uterine revision for placental retention. Mild uterine haemorrhage of 150 ml per hour without any uterine atony was associated with activation of clotting and
Three cases of cerebral embolism secondary to trivial trauma are reported. Case 1: A 12-year-old male suffered a severe headache followed by a generalized convulsion after he turned his head when he was flying a kite. A neurological examination on admission demonstrated right hemiparesis and
The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies is associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. A 14-year-old girl, with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), developed headache and cough and was found to have intracranial venous sinus thrombosis with secondary pulmonary embolism associated with
A patient is presented who had severe headache and then developed a stuttering course of clinical neurological deficits. Arteriography demonstrated an ipsilateral proximal middle cerebral embolus. With recurrence of symptoms, repeat arteriography showed another, more proximal embolus with areas of
BACKGROUND
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been linked to migraine, and several retrospective studies reported an improvement in migraine prevalence or frequency after PFO closure for other reasons, mostly for secondary prevention of paradoxical embolism or following diving accidents. We investigated
BACKGROUND
Some ongoing trials have suggested that closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) may reduce migraine symptoms. We sought to assess the safety and effectiveness of migraine treatment by means of PFO transcatheter closure using paradoxical embolism risk-driven criteria.
METHODS
We enrolled
Author report on a case of air embolism in delivery in a multigravida. Delivery was completed by an application of vacuum extractor. The parturient lost small amount of blood during delivery. Soon after delivery the patient complained about numbness in her arm and a headache. She turned pale, got
Owing to the asphyxia of the child weighing 4460 g, the delivery of a 33-year-old secundipara was completed by vacuum extraction. In the course of delivery the patient was bleeding very little. Following the delivery she complained of the numbness of the left hand and headache, she was pale,
OBJECTIVE
To study the cause and clinical manifestation of intracranial venous embolim during pregnancy and puerperium, and its early diagnosis and treatment.
METHODS
18 cases of intracranial venous embolism confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) were eligible for this retrospective study.
RESULTS
Of
We encountered a patient with the overlapping disorders of migraine with aura, migraine-triggered seizures and recurrent transient hemiparesis caused by atypical hemiplegic migraines with motor weakness during headache attacks, but not during the aura period, or paradoxical cerebral embolism. The
