Craniofacial nociceptive processing in patients (n = 25) suffering from unilateral cluster headache was assessed by laser-evoked cortical potentials (LEPs). Latencies and amplitudes of late (N2, P2) and middle-latency (N1) LEPs were measured in chronic (CCH, n = 9) and episodic cluster headache
OBJECTIVE
To report a patient with a macular injury caused by a laser pointing device.
METHODS
Case report. A healthy 34-year-old man was examined 2 days after he deliberately gazed into the beam of a laser-pointing device with his left eye for an estimated 30 to 60 seconds. His uncorrected visual
Using neurophysiological methods to explore nociceptive pathways may improve knowledge of the functional changes subtending pain processing in the different forms of headache and facial pain. Laser-evoked potentials (LEPs) are a reliable neurophysiological assay for the clinical assessment of pain
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of simultaneous Epiduroscopic Laser Neural Disc Decompression (ELND) and Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) applications using Ho:YAG laser in MSU classification 3AB herniated discs on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and ODI Accidental retinal laser injuries are easily diagnosed when there are known laser sources, typical macular injuries, and visual deficits consistent with retinal findings. Decisions are more difficult when retinal findings are subtle or absent, despite reported visual problems and somatic complaints.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to investigate the effectiveness of holmium-YAG laser-assisted septoplasty for septal deviations under local anesthesia.
METHODS
All holmium-YAG laser-assisted septoplasty procedures performed at Beijing hospital (Beijing, China) between August 2009 and May 2012. These
A 59-year-old woman was seen by an ophthalmologist for blurred vision, ocular pain, headache, and nausea. She was diagnosed with acute primary angle closure (APAC) and successfully treated with medications. Using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), engorged episcleral vein was observed and small uveal
Lumbar radicular pain often results from lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or degenerative spondylolisthesis. Minimally invasive disc decompression procedures, such as nucleo-annuloplasty or epiduroscopic neural decompression by laser, have been devised to treat such pain.
The short-term
Migraine symptoms are frequently referred by glaucoma patients. Although most studies analyze headache in the acute setting of angle closure, many patients with chronic occludable angles also complain of headaches. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of laser peripheral OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to investigate CO(2) laser-evoked potential (LEP) habituation to experimental pain in a group of patients affected by medication-overuse headache, with a history of episodic migraine becoming chronic, before and after treatment, consisting in acute medication withdrawal and a
OBJECTIVE
Laser use has become common in the home and workplace. We present a review of laser eye injuries and guidance for the emergency medicine physician on evaluation of laser eye injury-related complaints.
METHODS
A review of the literature on the potential for injury, concerning signs and
The present study is meant to give an overview of the application of KTP lasers in endoscopic sinus surgery and to give an account of the experience gained in the course of 24 operations. Laser-assisted FESS was performed in 24 patients (13 on the right side and 11 on the left side). Sixteen men and
Inferior turbinate hypertrophy refractory to medical management is one of the commonest problems encountered by ENT surgeons all over the world. Diode Laser turbinate reduction is a safe, minimally invasive, cost-effective procedure that helps in relieving the symptoms associated with Laser-assisted outpatient septoplasty is a new technique devised to minimize and simplify surgery under local anesthesia. It takes 5 minutes and has a specific clinical application in chronic nasal obstruction because of moderate anterior septal deviation in adults. It is less invasive than
