“…Acetazolamide has been reported to be effective in case reports of familial hemiplegic migraine with or without ataxia, 105 episodic ataxia type 2, 106,107 spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, 108 and migraine aura status. 109 Two recent case reports suggest that acetazolamide may be beneficial in CADASIL, and we have recently demonstrated improvement in cerebral perfusion on SPECT in a CADASIL patient following administration of oral acetazolamide. 110 -113 Given the propensity for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, minimizing vascular risk factors and implementing therapy for primary or secondary prevention of stroke and myocardial infarction seems prudent.…”

While the prevalence of nonspecific white matter lesions in migraineurs is increased, the white matter lesions may occasionally represent a secondary cause for headache such as CADASIL. Greater awareness of the unique clinical, neuroimaging, and pathologic features, as well as the availability of diagnostic genetic testing, should enhance the recognition and diagnosis of this fascinating condition.

“…Triptans failed to shorten the duration of aura and should be avoided in older patients who have vascular risk factors (168,175,176). Intranasal ketamine (177,178), acetazolamide (179), intravenous furosemide (180), and lamotrigine (181)(182)(183)(184) have been reported as effective in persistent migraine aura and status migrainous patients.…”

Late-life onset of migraine with aura is not rare in clinical practice and can occur without headache, especially in elderly individuals. Visual symptoms are the most common presentation, followed respectively by sensory, aphasic, and motor symptoms. Gradual evolution, the march of transient neurological deficits over several minutes and serial progression from one symptom to another in succession are typical clinical features for late-life migraine accompaniments. Transient neurological disturbances in migraine aura can mimic other serious conditions and can be easily misdiagnosed. Careful clinical correlation and appropriate investigations are essential to exclude secondary causes. Treatments are limited and still inconsistent.

Headaches are the most common disorders of the central nervous system affecting 46% of the adult population worldwide. Headaches may be lifelong illnesses, often associated with substantial disability for the individual and the population as a whole. The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) codifies headache disorders into fourteen categories, predominantly primary headaches and secondary headache disorders. Primary headache disorders, mainly migraine and trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs), are frequently associated with neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations. Ophthalmologists are often the first physicians to be involved in the deciphering of headache-related visual disturbances. This article reviews two major primary headache disorders, migraine and trigeminal autonomic cephalgias, and discusses their neuro-ophthalmic complications, clinical presentation, and treatment.
