iris/headache

Pupillometry was used to evaluate the effect of oral or topically applied adrenomimetic drugs and of local morphine on pupillary size in headache patients and controls. In headache sufferers, a disruption of adrenergic transmission is suggested since the iris adrenergic nerve terminal is apparently

The authors refer about a female patient with pigmentary glaucoma after implantation of iris claw intraocular negative dioptric power lens. Because of high myopia, eight years ago, a phakic iris claw intraocular negative dioptric power lens was implanted in the right eye and a photorefractive

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is a potentially life-threatening complication in HIV infected children with tuberculosis (TB) of the central nervous system. HIV-associated TB-IRIS has not been previously described in children with

UNASSIGNED Our purpose is to describe a 60-year-old male, who has plateau iris configuration and developed bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome after ingestion of acetazolamide. UNASSIGNED Our case was a research participant in a multi-center clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01677507).

Twenty-three subjects with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and 23 age- and sex-matched controls were tested for sympathetic denervation of the iris dilator by comparing the mydriatic effect of the combination of 1% phenylephrine and 1% tropicamide with that of 1% tropicamide alone.

Substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) was measured by radioimmunoassay in iris, choroid, and retina obtained from men after death. Although present in different amounts, SP-LI, eluting as authentic SP or SP sulfoxide in the high-performance liquid chromatography system, was found in the three

Breast cancer and lung cancer are the most common tumors that metastasize to iris. The metastasis of iris was generally diagnosed on ophthalmologic examination. In this case, we reported iris metastasis of patients with adenocarcinoma of breast cancer and MRI findings. We report a case of a

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of plateau iris associated with bilateral Adie's pupil. METHODS Interventional case report. METHODS A 54-year-old woman presented with pain in her right eye and headache. Intraocular pressure was 34 mm Hg in the right eye. Light reflex was defective

METHODS A 24-year-old HIV-positive patient was admitted to hospital on account of increasing headache. METHODS On admission, a patient with severe headache, nausea and vomiting but without neurologic deficiencies was seen. The diagnosis of a cryptococcal meningoencephalitis could be confirmed by

We report a case of isolated iris metastasis from esophageal adenocarcinoma that was successfully managed with local application of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and adjunctive intravitreal therapy. A 53-year-old man with locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma achieved a complete

OBJECTIVE Irosustat is a first-generation, orally active, irreversible steroid sulfatase inhibitor. We performed a multicentre, open label phase II trial of the addition of Irosustat to a first-line aromatase inhibitor (AI) in patients with advanced BC to evaluate the safety of the combination and

An amplified ciliospinal reflex response has been documented in patients with cluster headache, lacking a Horner-like syndrome. The mechanism is unknown. Tentatively, it may be due to an increased release of monoamines from post-ganglionic sympathetic nerve endings or an increased density of

In idiopathic headache (IH) sufferers, phenylephrine and fenfluramine induce a pupillary dilatation respectively greater and lesser than in controls. The difference may be due to a supersensitivity of the iris alpha adrenoceptors caused by a deficiency of noradrenaline in the iris adrenergic nerve

These studies of cluster headache (CH) focus on two key features of pain transmission: a) sensory nerves when stimulated, as well as the expected afferent transmission, also display an efferent function which affects capillaries, glands, and smooth muscle (of the iris in CH); substance P (SP) and

Intraocular medulloepithelioma is a rare congenital tumor that arises from the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body. It is the second most common primary intraocular neoplasm during the first decade of life. It may present with an iris mass or cyst (56%), glaucoma (48%), cataract (26%),
