24
Q

What is the most likely cause of aura during a migraine episode?

A

Vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels

25
How long do visual phenomena of migraine with aura typically last?
20 minutes
26
What headache type is associated with postganglionic Horner's syndrome?
Cluster headache
27
Cluster Headache Symptoms
- Severe pain around one eye or on one side of the head - Tearing, nasal stuffiness, and runny nostril on affected side
28
In which gender are cluster headaches more common?
Males
29
Giant Cell Arteritis
- Autoimmune disease - Causes headache, scalp tenderness, jaw pain, and visual symptoms
30
What do Omega 3 supplements affect?
Clotting time
31
Conclusions of AREDS studies?
- Smokers are at a very high risk of developing advanced AMD - Older pts with poor nutrition may be at highest risk of advanced AMD - Aging can be associated with deficiencies in micronutrients (including zinc/cartenoids) - Results supported replacement of beta carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin in original AREDS formula - Addition of omega-3 fatty acids in original AREDS formula did not further decrease risk of progression from intermediate → advanced AMD
32
What do omega-3 fatty acids do?
Decrease inflammatory cytokines
33
Hashimoto's disease lab testing results
- Elevated TSH - Decreased TH - Elevated thryoglobulin antibodies
34
What might cause Addison's crisis?
Abruptly stopping corticosteroids after long-term use
35
What is a more sensitive measure of thryoid function?
TSH levels
36
Pathological change associated with Graves disease?
High levels of circulating thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins
37
Retinal detachment symptoms
- Lots of new floaters - Flashes of light in one or both eyes - Dark shadow or "curtain" on sides or middle of visual field
38
Most common visual efficiency skills problem after TBI?
OMD
39
Why isn't a concussion typically visible on traditional MRI?
Because the shearing of neurons that occurs in concussion causes only microscopic damage along axons (Damage is too small and scattered to be detected)
40
What type of occulsion is helpful for patients with TBI and why?
- Binasal occlusion (BNO) Because: - It improves ambient visual processing by stimulating/emphasizing peripheral awareness - Reduces need to process redundant/overlapping info from each eye
41
What is the ambient ("where"/peripheral) visual system most important to?
Providing input to superior colliculus to be integrated with vestibular and proprioceptive systems
42
What is the focal ("what"/central) visual most important to?
Providing details for what we're looking at
43
Main purpose of BI microprism in TBI patients?
- Treating post traumatic visual syndrome
44
Progressive lenses are not the best option for what patients?
TBI patients with accommodative insufficiency
45
Grounding technique that can be used to improve comfort in patients who become nauseous, dizzy, or unstable while you're working on them?
- Dim lights - Stimulate peripheral awareness - Chalkboard circles - Harmon circles - Sit in a stable, stationary chair - Pinch thumbs and index fingers together - Use a weighted blancket
46
What do individuals with complete hemiplegia or muscle weakness on one side of the body often demonstrate?
Visual Midline Shift Syndrome (VMSS)
47
Visual Midline Shift Syndrome (VMSS)
- Sense of center shifted up, down, left, or right - Poor balance - Poor motor planning
