25
What gender has more migraines?
women, especially close to menstrual cycle
26
What is spreading depression associated with?
cortical vascular changes
27
Aura and migraine
classic has aura ~20%, no aura is common migraine
28
What are symptoms of migraine?
headache commonly localized to peri-orbital or retro-orbital region, may also have nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, rapid onset to peak time 20-60 mins
29
What is spreading depression?
wave of cortical excitation followed by wave of inhibition, commonly starting in the visual cortex
30
What is the vascular theory of migraine?
rapid constriction of cerebral arteries, secondary inflammation around vessels, release of chemotactic factors and inflammation around the brain = pain
31
Three pathophysiologies of migraines
neuropeptide release, pain signaling pathway, vessel dilation/contraction
32
What is neuropeptide release?
calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide, tx: inhibit the neuropeptide release
33
What is pain signaling pathway?
trigeminocervical complex-nociceptor signals to the thalamus
34
What is vessel dilation/contraction
vascular activity occurs, but may not actually play a direct role in migraine, dilation induced in non-migraineurs does not result in headache but does cause headache in migraineurs through peptide activation
35
What is ocular/retinal migraine?
affects only anterior visual pathways yielding monocular visual changes, possible vasospasm in retinal or posterior ciliary circulation resulting in ischemia to retina, choroid, ONH
36
What may be noted during ocular migrain attack?
arterial attenuations and subsequent arterial occlusions
37
What are the most common causes of TIA that must be excluded to yield diagnosis of ocular migraine?
embolus, vascular disease
38
What is the international headache society classification of ocular migraine?
at least 2 attacks, fully reversible monocular visual phenomena, HA begins during visual symptoms or within 60 mins, normal eye exam between attacks, no other disorder
39
Aura in the absence of HA are called
acephalgic migraines or typical aura without headache
40
Diseases that have been associated with misdiagnosis of retinal migraine
CRAO, CRVO, cilioretinal artery occlusion, focal retinal ischemia, ischemic optic neuropathy, optic atrophy
41
What is aura
scintillation building in intensity across the visual field, flurry of symptoms common
42
What is the most common HA?
tension 90%
43
What gender has more tension HA?
women
44
What are tension HAs?
unilateral or bilateral tightness or aching in frontal temporal and occipital regions, commonly features associated neck symptoms, abnormalities in sleep may result
45
When do tension HAs usually start?
between 4-8 am or 4-8 pm
46
What are cluster HA?
clusters of severe pain with remission periods, severe unilateral pain for 45-60 minutes, onset to peak is seconds, occur for 8-12 weeks with remission for 12-18 months
47
When do cluster HAs occur?
often at onset of sleep, symptoms peak in spring and fall
48
Who is affected by cluster HA?
men 20s-30s
49
How is cluster HA pain described?
unilateral retro-orbital to temporal, deep burning or boring, trigeminal autonomic symptoms may occur
50
What are trigeminal autonomic symptoms of cluster HA?
lacrimation, rhinorrhea ptosis, pupil constriction, facial flushing, conjunctival injection
51
What is WWOP?
gray/white appearance of peripheral retina, sharp demarcation from adjacent normal retinal, possible vitreoretinal interface
52
What is happening at a abnormal vitreoretinal interface?
hyper-reflectance of ellipsoid portion of photoreceptor inner segments
53
What is lattice degeneration?
8% of population, found midway between ora serrata and equator, thinning of inner retinal layers
54
What retinal layers are affected with lattice?
abnormal pigmentation/RPE hyperplasia with yellow/white surface flecks, associated vessels become attenuated and sheathed, loss of inner retinal layers down to outer nuclear layer with associated vitreous liquefaction
55
Where is a strong vitreal adhesion?
at the edge of lattice
56
What percent of lattice is associated with atrophic retinal holes?
25-35%
57
What percent of lattice is related to tractional retinal tears?
1%
58
What is snailtrack degeration?
degeneration of the neural elements of retina leading to an atrophy of the tissues with lipid deposits in the internal retinal layers, sharply demarcated, at or near equator
59
What is snailtracking made of?
microglial cells containing lipoproteins on the surface
60
Does snail tracking have a stronger or weaker vitreous traction than lattice?
weaker, less risk of retinal trauma
61
What are atrophic retinal holes?
a break in the retina not associated with traction forces, rather progressive retinal thinning, creases potetntial for liquified vitreous to invade and yield RD
62
What percent of the population has atrophic retinal holes
2-3% ... 20% likelihood of presence in fellow eye
63
What is the red base in an atrophic retinal hole?
RPE-choroid showing
64
What surrounds an atrophic retinal hole?
often surrounded by cuff of intra-retinal edema or sub-clinical RD, pigment surrounding hole indicates it has been present 3+ months, this is reactive RPE hyperplasia
65
What possible causes atrophic holes?
focal vascular compromise
66
What are operculated holes?
vitreoretinal traction pulls a plug or operculum of retinal tissue away yielding a retinal hole, red area with overlying retinal floater that looks smaller than the hole
67
What is intrabasal
within vitreous bases, may be due to traction from lens zonules and are lower risk for RD because they are within strong adhesions of vitreous base
68
What is juxtabasal?
next to vitreous base and higher risk of RD when there's a PVD because the cause is the VR traction
69
What amount of fluid with a hole should be referred?
>2DD, symptomatic, aphakic or past Hx of hole consider phtocoagulation
70
What is retinoschisis?
splitting of internal layers of sensory retina, commonly bilateral and inferotemporal, usually asymptomatic
71
What is flat vs bullous retinoschisis?
flat: split occurs at outer plexiform layer, bullos: split occurs anterior to OPL leaving a very thin inner wall
72
How to distinguish retinoschisis from retinal detachment
schisis will not move with eye movement and when illuminated, schisis has honeycomb appearance
73
What is rhegmatogenous retinal detachment?
included retinal break, commonly starts as PVD yielding traction from vitrous at peripheral retina causing tear... leads to separation between photoreceptors and sensory retina
74
What is non-rhegmatogenous (traction/serous) detachment?
disease yielding tractional entities such as PDR allowing tension on retina giving away to RD, disease where fluid/hemorrhage develops between sensory retina and RPE
75
What are s/s of retinal detachment?
flashes and floaters, APD, reduced IOP, iritis, opaque or corrugated retina
76
Why do flashes occur?
retina moving resulting in stimulation of photoreceptors, phosphene effect
77
What is a greater emergency, macular on or off?
ON
78
What are signs an RD has been there for awhile?
pigmented demarcation line, taut surface of RD thinned retina, intraretinal exudates, intraretinal cysts and fixed retinal folds
79
What are preventative medications for migraine?
NSAIDs, TCAs, beta blockers, anti-depressants, botox
80
What medication are abortive for HA?
pain relievers, ergotamine and triptans
81
Retinotomy
incision to remove fluid from beneath the retinal detachment
82
pneumatic retinopexy
gas bubble placed in eye to place pressure against detachment area
83
cryo/photocoagulation
induce scars to seal edges of RD down
84
vitrectomy
removal of vitrous to relieve traction
85
fluid-gas exchange
outpatient fluid-gas exchange is a treatment option for patients suffering from post vitrectomy retinal detachment
86
scleral buckle
band around peripheral retina to relieve tension w/ elongation of axial lengs
87
Common adverse effect of RD surgery?
cataract
88
Ophthalmia nodosa
name for the nodular granulomatous inflammation reaction of the palpebral or bulbar conjunctiva to hair
89
What is management of ophthalmia nodosa?
