Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Migraine a Systemic Disease? ft. Vincent Martin, MD
Q: Do you feel that migraine meets the criteria to be categorized as a systemic disease?
Yes, migraines can be seen as neurological, vascular, and potentially a consequence of other systemic diseases.
Is Migraine a Systemic Disease? ft. Vincent Martin, MD
Q: Can any of these diseases trigger migraine, bring on an attack, make our migraine worse?
Certain diseases and their treatments can trigger migraine attacks and cause more frequent headaches, such as asthma and depression.
Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: Is the CSF's pressure high in a lumbar puncture in cerebral venous congestion?
Patients with cerebral venous congestion typically do not meet the elevated pressure criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension, with some presenting normal or slightly elevated pressures.
Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: When you say daily head pain, does it matter if it's bilateral or unilateral? Do you see patients with both?
We've seen patients with both types of pain, but the problem is venous issues don't always follow textbook patterns, making diagnosis more complex.
Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: Can you define for us what cerebral venous congestion is?
Cerebral venous congestion is hypothesized as a state where venous drainage problems in the brain can lead to headaches and other symptoms, characterized by issues in the venous system and its ability to clear waste from the brain.
