Cranial and Spinal Meninges01:19

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

2.5K
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

3.7K
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...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

4.1K
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...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

3.9K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

5.3K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Cranial Nerves: Overview and Anatomy

3.4K
The cranial nerves are an important part of the complex network of nerves in the human body. These nerves emerge directly from the brain and are responsible for transmitting essential information between the brain and various parts of the head and neck. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, systematically numbered using Roman numerals from I to XII, beginning from the anterior and moving to the posterior of the brain. Each cranial nerve is uniquely identified by names that reflect its function...

Summary

Cervicogenic headache, often under-diagnosed, originates from the cervical spine. Current guidelines focus on clinical criteria for diagnosis and physical therapy for management, with nerve blocks aiding confirmation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Cervicogenic headache, first described in the 1980s, is a prevalent but frequently under-diagnosed headache disorder.
  • This condition significantly impacts patients' quality of life due to inadequate diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive review of current diagnostic and management recommendations for cervicogenic headache.
  • To synthesize recent perspectives on identifying and treating this specific headache type.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, focusing on recent English-language articles.
  • The review aimed to identify current diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for cervicogenic headache.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis relies on International Headache Society (IHS) and Cervicogenic Headache International Study Group (CHISG) clinical criteria.
  • Cervical nerve blocks can confirm nociceptive sources and are part of CHISG criteria; non-invasive methods like DTI and SPECT are also explored.
  • Physical therapy is the primary management strategy; surgical interventions are considered only for underlying cervical degenerative disease.

Conclusions:

  • Headaches stemming from a cervical spine nociceptive source are increasingly recognized in clinical practice.
  • This review consolidates current diagnostic standards and therapeutic approaches for cervicogenic headache.
