Migraine consultations: a triangle of viewpoints
1City of London Migraine Clinic, England.
Abstract:
Several studies have examined patients' attitudes to a consultation for migraine and other headaches. However, a patient's assessment of the problem for which they seek treatment may differ from that of the referring primary physician which may, in turn, differ from the specialist's. This study set out to examine this triangle. The commonest reason for referral was failure of treatment response. This contrasted with the patient's different perception--an increase in the frequency of attacks which we saw as headaches additional to migraine, accounting for failed treatment. Similarly, our view of the patient wanting reassurance paralleled their request for further information. These findings confirmed the hypothesis that recognizing and understanding a patient's fears were important factors towards a favorable outcome of a consultation.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
