Title: Eye explodes during a CH?
Post by JJA on Oct 22^nd, 2004, 2:37pm

I know that's what it feels like but, according to
Leone M, Franzini A, Broggi G, May A, Bussone G.
Long-term follow-up of bilateral hypothalamic stimulation for intractable cluster headache.
Brain. 2004 Oct;127(Pt 10):2259-64. Epub 2004 Aug 25.
PMID: 15329350 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Quote:

Case history
Our patient is a 39 year-old male who had suffered from bilateral chronic intractable CHs since 1995...
The attacks were accompanied by life-threatening hypertensive crises with systolic pressure...
and conspicuous oculo-facial phenomena...
The patient was blind in the right eye following vitreous humor haemorrhage induced by a hypertensive crisis; left eye vision was compromised for the same reason.

I thought this smiley was appropriate. :o

Holy ....

Funny thing is that I have ocular hypertension and that I was supposed to limit my caffiene. Well all bets were off when I went into cycle 5 months ago (wow) MAybe I'll reconsider since they appear to be lightening up.

Boom!!!!!!!!
