A Datasheet for the INSIGHT University Hospitals Birmingham Retinal Vein Occlusion Data Set.

Purpose: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second leading cause of visual loss due to retinal disease. Retinal vein occlusion increases the risk of cardiovascular mortality and the risk of stroke. This article describes the data contained within the INSIGHT eye health data set for RVO and cardiovascular disease.

The UK CSF Disorders Day 2022.

The annual United Kingdom cerebrospinal fluid disorders meeting made its return to the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, following the break in proceedings due to the coronavirus pandemic. Cerebrospinal fluid disorders require a multi-disciplinary approach with inputs from the neurological, neuro-ophthalmological, neuroradiological, and neurosurgical specialities. The annual meeting presented the newest concepts underpinning idiopathic intracranial hypertension pathophysiology and the advances in intracranial pressure monitoring and treatment.

Giant cell arteritis: reviewing the advancing diagnostics and management.

Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is well known to be a critical ischaemic disease that requires immediate medical recognition to initiate treatment and where one in five people still suffer visual loss. The immunopathophysiology has continued to be characterised, and the influencing of ageing in the development of GCA is beginning to be understood. Recent national and international guidelines have supported the directed use of cranial ultrasound to reduce diagnostic delay and improve clinical outcomes.

Headache for ophthalmologists: current advances in headache understanding and management.

Patients with headache and head pain are often referred to ophthalmologists. These symptoms can either be associated with underlying ophthalmic conditions, or more often are headache disorders unrelated to the eyes. Understanding the phenotype of the headache is critical for advice, safe discharge or onward referral.

Using Optical Coherence Tomography as a Surrogate of Measurements of Intracranial Pressure in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Importance: There is an unmet need for noninvasive biomarkers of intracranial pressure (ICP), which manifests as papilledema that can be quantified by optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Objective: To determine whether OCT of the optic nerve head in papilledema could act as a surrogate measure of ICP.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This longitudinal cohort study used data collected from 3 randomized clinical trials that were conducted between April 1, 2014, and August 1, 2019.

Calcitonin gene related peptide monoclonal antibody treats headache in patients with active idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Background: Headache is the dominant factor for quality of life related disability in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and typically has migraine-like characteristics. There are currently no evidence-based therapeutics for headache in IIH, and consequently this is an important unmet clinical need.

Case Series: We report a series of seven patients in whom headaches were the presenting feature of IIH and the headaches had migraine-like characteristics, as is typical in many IIH patients.
