Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

4.7K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

7.6K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.2K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

7.4K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Headscarf (hijab) headache is a recognized phenomenon among wearers but lacks medical literature documentation.
  • This condition is frequently discussed within communities but has not been formally studied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on hijab headache, documenting its characteristics and potential management.
  • To raise awareness of this specific headache type within the medical community.

Main Methods:

  • Case study involving five women experiencing headaches related to hijab use.
  • Detailed description of headache onset, characteristics, and resolution in relation to headscarf wear.

Main Results:

  • All five participants reported bilateral headaches triggered or exacerbated by wearing the hijab.
  • Headaches consistently resolved shortly after removing the headscarf.
  • Minor adjustments in hijab style offered relief while respecting cultural/religious practices.

Conclusions:

  • Hijab headache is likely an extracranial headache, distinct from other headache types.
  • Recognition of hijab headache can prevent unnecessary medical investigations and alleviate patient suffering.
