Cerebral Venous Thrombosis with Migraine-Like Headache and the Trigeminovascular System.

Case reports in neurological medicine

Nascimento FA, Sória MG, Rizelio V, Kowacs PA.
PMID: 26989532
Case Rep Neurol Med. 2016;2016:2059749. doi: 10.1155/2016/2059749. Epub 2016 Feb 17.

Cerebral venous thrombosis- (CVT-) associated headache is considered a secondary headache, commonly presenting as intracranial hypertension headache in association with seizures and/or neurological signs. However, it can occasionally mimic migraine. We report a patient presenting with a migraine-like, CVT-related...

Allodynia as a complication of migraine: background and management.

Current treatment options in neurology

Young WB.
PMID: 19094830
Curr Treat Options Neurol. 2009 Jan;11(1):3-9. doi: 10.1007/s11940-009-0001-0.

Allodynia is a normal part of the untreated migraine attack in most people with episodic migraine and is prevalent in chronic migraine. The extent to which allo-dynia contributes to the pain and disability of migraine attacks is unclear, as...

An examination of certain factors which might, or do, affect the vascular response to oxytocin.

The Journal of physiology

Lloyd S, Pickford M.
PMID: 16992296
J Physiol. 1967 Dec;193(3):547-69. doi: 10.1113/jphysiol.1967.sp008378.

1. A number of different observations were made on anaesthetized rats and some dogs to try to discover why it is that oxytocin is a vasodilator in dioestrus and anoestrus, and develops constrictor properties in oestrus and following sympathectomy.2....

Uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine by platelets.

British journal of pharmacology and chemotherapy

Stacey RS.
PMID: 19108152
Br J Pharmacol Chemother. 1961 Jun;16(3):284-95. doi: 10.1111/j.1476-5381.1961.tb01087.x.

Human blood platelets were incubated with 5-hydroxytryptamine and with tryptamine and the uptake of each amine measured. The uptake of tryptamine, unlike that of 5-hydroxytryptamine, was linearly related to the concentration of the amine in the surrounding fluid, was...

Acute migraine therapy: new drugs and new approaches.

Current treatment options in neurology

Monteith TS, Goadsby PJ.
PMID: 21110235
Curr Treat Options Neurol. 2011 Feb;13(1):1-14. doi: 10.1007/s11940-010-0105-6.

OPINION STATEMENT: The conceptual shift of our understanding of migraine from a vascular disorder to a brain disorder has dramatically altered the approach to the development of new medicines in the field. Current pharmacologic treatments of acute migraine consist...

Dihydroergotamine Complicating Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome in Status Migrainosus.

Journal of neurosciences in rural practice

Mullaguri N, Hepburn M, Newey CR, Nattanmai PC.
PMID: 29725183
J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2018 Apr-Jun;9(2):272-275. doi: 10.4103/jnrp.jnrp_449_17.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinicoradiological syndrome that occurs due to dysfunction of cerebrovascular autoregulation. It is characterized by recurrent thunderclap headache from cerebral vasoconstriction which can cause ischemic infarction, spontaneous intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage. This syndrome...
