[Lateralization phenomena and headache].

G Nattero, L Savi

    Minerva Medica
    |September 8, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cluster headache involves vasomotor changes in carotid and vertebral arteries. A local pressure gradient between extra- and intracranial arteries likely causes lateralisation during a cluster headache crisis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Pain Management

    Context:

    • Cluster headache is characterized by unilateral, severe head pain.
    • Vasomotor phenomena in ipsilateral carotid and vertebral arteries are key features.
    • Lateralisation of symptoms during a crisis is a notable clinical observation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of lateralisation in cluster headache.
    • To correlate Doppler findings with thermographic and dynamographic data.
    • To identify the cause of the peripheral component of lateralisation.

    Summary:

    • Doppler findings reveal reversible arteriovenous shunts, supporting Heick's observations.
    • Thermographic evidence indicates local hypothermia, consistent with Lance's findings.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Wolff's findings of superficial temporal artery dilatation and congestion are noted.
  • Dynamographic data suggest a local extra-intracranial artery pressure gradient is responsible for lateralisation.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a potential explanation for the peripheral lateralisation in cluster headache.
    • Integrates multiple physiological findings (Doppler, thermography, dynamography) to explain a complex symptom.
    • Contributes to understanding the pathophysiology of cluster headaches.
