To investigate the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and abnormalities of haemostasis in children and adolescents with migraine with aura (MA) compared with peers affected by other idiopathic headaches.
METHODS
We recruited 20 MA patients (10 men and 10 women; age range 8-17 years)
Migraine is episodic, paroxysmal disorder where the headache represents the central symptom and is followed with different combinations of neurologic, gastrointestinal and vegetative changes.

In 1983 Sjaastad published for the first time diagnostic criteria for cervicogenic headache. Until now there have been no prospective studies investigating whether cervical disc prolapse can cause cervicogenic headache. Between July 2002 and July 2003 50 patients with cervical disc prolapse proven
Fifty patients with prolapse of the mitral valve and clinical diagnosis of migraine are analyzed, all being given a cardio-circulatory examination for an adequate clinical correlation between both illnesses. In this study we show a comparison of the patient's age, the duration and frequency of
A degenerative cervical disc is a pain generator for headaches, and headaches can benefit from cervical prolapse surgery. However, as an alternative intervention for open cervical surgery, no study has reported whether headaches can benefit from cervical nucleoplasty.The objective of this study was
The recent development of new drug therapies for headache disorders has allowed for the tailoring of treatment to specific patient needs. This paper reviews the pharmacologic management of patients with both headache and concomitant medical illness. The discussion specifically includes the treatment
We herein report a case of infective endocarditis associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in a 34-year-old man with Klinefelter syndrome. The patient was admitted with a fever and headache that had persisted for three weeks. Repeated blood cultures showed growth of Streptococcus oralis.
Evidence of a link between headache symptoms and cardiovascular disease has rapidly grown in recent years and it is of utmost importance for the cardiologist and neurologist to be aware of this intimate connection. A brief overview of different cardiovascular diseases (namely hypertension, stroke,
Symptoms of mitral valve prolapse syndrome, the most common valvular disorder, include anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, headaches, and chest pain, to name a few. This syndrome is effectively treated in a nurse-managed, outpatient clinic that specializes in the treatment of mitral valve prolapse
We examined a group of former oral contraceptive (OC) users, who had experienced cerebrovascular insufficiency, for the presence of hypercoagulable states. We found hypercoagulability in this group in the form of decreased plasma antithrombin III activity, increased platelet coagulant activity, and
Whether a history of headache or "early" versus "late" ambulation (no bed rest or bed rest for 24 h) influence the occurrence of headache after lumbar iohexol myelography was studied by blinded interviews in 158 consecutive patients referred for elective lumbar myelography (LM) because of suspected
Patients with classic migraine (69 women and 31 men) selected randomly from a practice list of over 1000 were matched for age, sex and neighbourhood with 100 people who did not have headache problems, and both groups underwent M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography and clinical examination by
Mitral valve prolapse syndrome, the most common valvular disorder, is associated with symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, headaches, chest pain and more. Many non-drug interventions can be employed to alleviate symptoms.
The effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise training protocol on 32 symptomatic women with mitral valve prolapse were studied. Subjects were randomly assigned to control or exercise groups. Exercise subjects completed a 12-week (3 times per week) exercise training program based on guidelines
The authors studied the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in the group of 656 children and adolescents (329 males and 327 females), who were a representative sample (obtained with the Monte Carlo method of statistical trials) of all newborns in the city of Maribor, Republic of Slovenia, in
