Objectives: Since neurogenic inflammation and hemoconcentration have a prominent role in the pathophysiology of migraine, evaluation of hemogram parameters and indices showing inflammation can yield important information. In this study, we have investigated blood cell counts and ratios, systemic inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and red cell index (RCI) in the painless periods between pain attacks in patients with episodic migraine without aura.
Methods: Hemogram data of both 309 patients diagnosed with migraine without aura related to pain-free periods and 199 healthy individuals were retrospectively retrieved from hospital records.
Article Synopsis
- Central pontine hyperintensities seen on MRI can indicate various health issues, primarily central pontine myelinolysis, which involves the demyelination of white matter in the pons.
- The condition can arise from multiple causes, including rapid changes in electrolytes, alcohol use, and metabolic disorders, and can present symptoms ranging from none to severe, including death.
- A study of eight patients found diverse etiologies leading to central pontine hyperintensities, emphasizing that fast sodium correction isn’t the only cause, and highlighting the importance of considering different diagnoses in such cases.
