The potential impact of migraine headache on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness

Abstract: Background Migraine is a common, chronic, multifactorial neurovascular disorder. It may result in hypoperfusion of other areas other than the brain, as the eye. It may lead to change of the retinal nerve fiber layers (RNFL) thickness and axonal loss even up to severe damage of the eye structures, including the retina with frequent headache attacks. This study aimed to quantify the thickness of RNFL which gives a good idea about the condition of axons and loss of ganglion cells in migraine patie… Show more

“…Transient vasospasm during visual aura or even migraine without aura can cause decreased blood flow and perfusion deficit in the ocular vasculature, similar to that of the cranium. Cerebral and ocular vascular changes and subsequent transitory constriction of the retinal and ciliary arteries lead to possible ischemic damage of the optic nerve, retina or choroid causing retinal layers thickness changes [9]. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) represents a simple and noninvasive procedure to assess such morphological retinal and choroidal changes in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases but also in migraine patients, utilizing infrared wavelengths with sensitivity of 8-10 micrometers [10][11][12].…”
