MRI, with and without contrast, is recommended, and there should be thin cuts through the orbits. An MRI of the brain alone is not sufficient. Headache and the Abnormal Pupil Nothing seems to trouble a healthcare provider more than an enlarged pupil. Bolstered by the media, there is an ...
Treatment with cabergoline had significantly reduced the prolactin levels and had also improved the patient's headaches. High-resolution CT, with and without contrast, or MRI is necessary to visualise microprolactinomas (and other sellar lesions) and confirm the diagnosis....
A thorough history and head and neck exam was performed for every patient along with necessary radiographic investigations to rule out all potential dental and bony pathologies. Brain MRI with and without contrast was done for all patients prior to initiating treatment. Only patients with classic TN...
In the subset of patients suspected of an emergent headache, non-contrast head CT is the screening test of choice. However, alternative and/or additional imaging choices should be directed toward the specific emergent diagnosis in question. For example, cerebral CT angiography (CTA) can be useful...
If an infectious lesion is suspected, MRI is a better choice than contrast-enhanced CT30 to image an inflammatory process. CT without intravenous contrast or CBCT is the primary modality for imaging the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.31–33 CT/CBCT can delineate bony anatomic variants such ...
Epidemiological estimates indicate that individuals with epilepsy are more likely to experience headaches, including migraine, than individuals without epilepsy. Headaches can be temporally unrelated to seizures, or can occur before, during or after an episode; seizures and migraine attacks are mostly not...
