glaucoma/headache

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an association exists between migraine headache history and open-angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS Population-based, cross-sectional study. METHODS Subjects were 3654 people aged 49 or older; 82% of permanent residents from an area west of Sydney participated. METHODS All

Exfoliation syndrome is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma. The authors report a case of exfoliation glaucoma in a patient who had orofacial pain. A 77-year-old woman was treated at the orofacial pain clinic for left-sided facial pain and headaches of 7 months' duration. Her

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of a history of migraine headache to open-angle glaucoma. METHODS In an epidemiologic study of age-related eye disease, subjects were asked if they had migraine headaches. The diagnosis of glaucoma was based on visual field, intraocular pressure, cup/disc

Subacute angle closure causes intermittent episodes of transiently elevated intraocular pressure. Headache is often the chief complaint, which may lead to misdiagnosis. The authors examined headache characteristics and consequences of delayed diagnosis. Patients presenting with headaches have a

Subacute angle closure glaucoma (SACG) may lead to chronic angle closure glaucoma and irreversible vision loss. Headaches may be the sole presenting symptom. This study characterizes the medical course and symptoms of patients with SACG in whom headache was the major symptom. This retrospective

The diagnosis of subacute angle closure glaucoma is suspected in patients with narrow angles of the anterior chamber of the eye, presenting with periodic ocular, or periocular pain. However, some patients may present with headaches in the absence of significant ocular discomfort, which often leads

Acute headache is a common presenting symptom in the acute medical unit. We present a case of Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma (AACG) presenting with acute severe headache. It highlights the importance of remembering this ophthalmologic emergency and reminds us of its clinical presentation. The rapid

A 47 year old man with episodes of attacks of pain, redness and mild blurring of vision was investigated for narrow angle glaucoma in view of shallow anterior chambers and a cupped optic disc. The history was reviewed following a spontaneous attack in hospital, which had features other than acute

Headache with or without features of migraine has been reported to be a risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). However, it is not known whether the linkage between headache and the glaucomatous disease is independent of intraocular pressure (IOP). The purpose of this study was to compare the

Three patients, initially diagnosed with headache syndromes, were subsequently found to have subacute angle-closure glaucoma. In each case, the eye appeared grossly normal and there were no visual symptoms. A comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including gonioscopy, confirmed the diagnosis.

BACKGROUND This case report adds supportive evidence to the development of acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG), a rare but serious adverse effect following the use of topiramate (TPM) for a severe headache. METHODS A 25-year-old female reported with severe headache, suspected to be migraine, and was
