Monitoring of optic sheath diameter during acute migraine attack: an objective criteria for the severity of disease.
Acta Neurologica Belgica 2024 January 10
BACKGROUND: The etiology of migraine can be complex and multifactorial but not clear, also, intracranial pressure has been already associated with migraine attacks. This study aimed to monitor intracranial pressure during migraine attack to understand the possible relations with disease and severity.
METHODS: A prospective randomized study was designed. Patients with a definitive diagnosis of migraine underwent ultrasonography for optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement before treatment and were re-measured after the attack was resolved. The severity of the migraine was assessed with Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire before the treatment and after the symptoms regressed. ONSD values and scores from the questionnaires were compared before and after the migraine attack.
RESULTS: The study included 11 (52.4%) women and 10 (47.6%) men, and 42 eyes were evaluated. ONSD was detected as 4.23 ± 0.26 mm in the right eye and 4.10 ± 0.32 mm in the left eye during the migraine attack and decreased to 3.65 ± 0.41 mm in the right eye and 3.50 ± 0.33 mm in the left eye after the attack was treated (p < 0.001, both). A similar statistical improvement was found in HIT-6 and MIDAS scores with ONSD after treatment (p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between the ONSD value in both eyes and HIT-6/MIDAS scores during the migraine attack, and also, after the migraine attack.
CONCLUSION: A subjective increase of ONSD values during the migraine attack decreased after the disease resolved, also changes in ONSD values were significantly correlated with the severity of symptoms.
