Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: Is the CSF's pressure high in a lumbar puncture in cerebral venous congestion?
Patients with cerebral venous congestion typically do not meet the elevated pressure criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension, with some presenting normal or slightly elevated pressures.
Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: When you say daily head pain, does it matter if it's bilateral or unilateral? Do you see patients with both?
We've seen patients with both types of pain, but the problem is venous issues don't always follow textbook patterns, making diagnosis more complex.
Cerebral Venous Congestion and Headache ft. Ferdinand Hui, MD
Q: Can you define for us what cerebral venous congestion is?
Cerebral venous congestion is hypothesized as a state where venous drainage problems in the brain can lead to headaches and other symptoms, characterized by issues in the venous system and its ability to clear waste from the brain.
Cogniphobia and Migraine Explained
Q: How hard do you push? Do you have any advice for that instance?
Children with headache diseases will likely need more breaks; it's important to help them understand the importance of gradual engagement in cognitive tasks.
Cogniphobia and Migraine Explained
Q: If we notice that our children are having this problem, how do we best help them?
Engage children in intellectual activities gradually and be aware of their symptoms to prevent strengthening the conditioned response of fear.
