SNOOP: review clinical features for organic origin•Systemic symptoms (fever, wt loss) or Secondary risk factors (cancer, HIV)
•Neurological symptoms (confusion, impaired alertness, or consciousness)
•Onset: sudden, abrupt or split-second•Older: new-onset and progressive, esp
middle age (>50 yrs think giant cell, ischemia, cervical disease)
•Previous headache history: first headache or different

Reasons to Consider Neuroimaging in Migraineurs
•Unusual, prolonged or persistent aura• Increasing frequency, severity, or change
in clinical features•First or worst migraine•Basilar •Confusional•Hemiplegic•Late-life migraine accompaniments•Aura without headache•Headaches always on the same side•Posttraumatic

Migraine Aura vs. StrokeFeature Migraine aura Stroke
Onset Slow progression Sudden
Duration 15-60 minutes Often shorter
Distribution Spreads during attack No spread
Visual symptoms Positive—scotoma Negative—visual loss
Sequential symptoms Present (eg. Visual, then sensory)
Absent
History of similar attacks Present Often absent
History of migraine Present Present or absent

•Which of the following diagnoses is most likely?▫A. Cerebral autosomal dominant
arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)

•This is an idiopathic benign disorder that may be confused with viral meningitides, by symptoms are transient, afebrile.
•CADASIL and MELAS have MRI abnormalities
•Complicated migraines do not have CSF abnormalities

Reasons to consider LP to evaluate headache
Presentation Possible Cerebrospinal Fluid Diagnosis
First or worst headache Subarachnoid hemorrhage or meningitis
Headache w/fever or other symptoms or signs suggesting infection
Meningitis or encephalitis
Subacute or progressive headache in patients with risk factors
-Cryptococcal meningitis in HIV patients-Leptomeningeal metastasis with h/o primary cancer-Pseudotumor cerebri in obese female without papilledema
Orthostatic headache with diffuse dural enhancement on MRI
Low cerebrospinal fluid pressure syndrome
![Page 27: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Syndrome•Usu presents when a patient is upright,
relieved when lying down•When spontaneous intracranial
hypotension syndrome persists chronic daily headache without orthostatic features
•Neck or interscapular pain may precede the onset of headaches “hanger sign”
![Page 28: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
•MRI may show gadolinium enhancement, cerebellar tonsil descent, or may be normal
•LP: opening pressure 0-70 cm H2O, may be negative (normal 5-20 cm H20 or 3-15 mm Hg)
•CT myelography may be more sensitive for determining site of CSF leak▫Most leaks occur in spine
![Page 29: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Case 3
•62 yo f, acute onset of headaches 2 years earlier, at that time she awakened in the morning with severe headache. No h/o headaches. Upon standing up, pain intensified, but would improve upon reclining. Within one week postural component dissipated, but HA persisted 24 hours a day. Examinations reportedly normal. LP no blood or xanthochromia. Pressures not recorded.
![Page 30: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
•Variety of analgesics and treatments tried without benefit.
•Pmhx: negative except Morton’s neuroma removal 2 weeks prior to onset of headache.
•Neuroimaging normal; labs normal•Pt hospitalized, did not respond to
standardized IV protocols.•LP: opening pressure 10 cm H20.
Following removal of 10 cc CSF, pressure 7 cm H20
![Page 31: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
•IV caffeine produced modest improvement.•Autologous injection of 20 cc blood injected at
L2-L3 with complete reduction of HA•Three months later, headaches returned,
second administration of autologous blood undertaken
•Complete resolution of headaches 3 years f/u.•Upon further questioning, pt acknowledged
Morton’s neuromal removal had been preceded by spinal anesthesia: speculated CSF leak occurred at this time.

Arterial Dissections
•60-95% cervical artery dissections associated with headache▫25% also have neck pain, usu resolved after
1 week•70% vertebral artery dissections
associated with headache▫50% have neck pain, can last up to 5 weeks
•Ipsilateral pain
![Page 33: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Case 4
•35 yof with severe daily headaches for 1 year. H/O poorly controlled Type I diabetes, treated with insulin pump and has early retinal changes. Renal function is normal, but she has had a recent episode of chest pain for which she is undergoing cardiac testing. She has been overusing triptans and has developed medication overuse headache.
![Page 34: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
•Which of the following bridging therapies is indicated in this patient to treat her medication overuse headaches?▫A. Dihydroergotamine (DHE) 45▫B. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs▫C. Steroids▫D. Topiramate▫E. Triptans
![Page 35: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
•B. Nonsteroidal snti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
•DHE undesirable for ischemic heart disease
•Steroids: brittle diabetic, however good bridging therapy for non-diabetics
•Topiramate: preventative agent, not bridging agent
![Page 36: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Case 5•70 yom, h/o CAD, HTN, DM, experienced an
episode of right amaurosis fugax, found to have 90% stenosis of right internal carotid artery. He undergoes right carotid endarterectomy, uneventful. At 1 week post-op he complains of severe, pulsating, right-sided headache. He also had a brief 1 hour episode of difficulty coordinating movements on the left, which he attributed to fatigue. Sent for head CT: normal. No bruits. Fundi show only arteriolar narrowing.
![Page 37: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
•What is the most likely source of the patient’s headache?▫A. Carotid intimal tear▫B. Giant cell arteritis▫C. Hyperperfusion syndrome▫D. Ipsilateral ischemia▫E. Small intracranial bleed
![Page 38: Secondary Headaches. Medication related Posttraumatic Disorders of intracranial pressure Structural Cranial neuralgias Vascular Infectious Metabolic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649f315503460f94c4cf31/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
•C. Hyperperfusion syndrome
•This is presumed to be due to reperfusion of a hemisphere with an increased volume of blood at higher velocity compared to previously stenosed vessel.
•Although he has focal neurologic symptoms, ipsilateral ischemia is not felt to be the case
•Giant cell arteritis is unrelated to current history

Conclusions
•R/O secondary causes of headache•Obtain more history•SNOOP•Systemic symptoms or Secondary risk
factors•Neurological symptoms•Onset: sudden, abrupt or split-second•Older: new-onset and progressive•Previous headache history: first headache
