While questioning patients about aggravation of the headache by routine physical activity, sensitivity of walking stairs and lifting a heavy object versus head movements and bending down in terms of aggravating the headache was aimed to be determined. Eighty-one migraine patients were questioned about the aggravation of their headaches with two sets of question groups. (The first set: walking stairs and lifting a heavy object; The second set: rotating the head side to side and bending down). 38 and 72 patients gave clear answers to the first and second set of questions respectively. Clear information was obtained from the first and second group of questions by 38 and 72 patients respectively. Some patients with severe migraine headaches may prevent themselves from rigorous daily activities while they could bend or make sudden head movements inadvertently during the attack. We think that aggravation of the headache due to head movements or bending down during migraine attacks seems more sensitive than walking stairs or lifting a heavy object to migraine patients.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects small- and medium-sized blood vessels in the body, representing a rare entity. Cardiac involvement was identified as an independent risk factor for death in GPA patients, yet it has not been systematically elucidated in previous literature. Cardiac lesions in patients with GPA can manifest in various ways, such as pericarditis, myocarditis, coronary vasculitis, valvular abnormalities, conduction system abnormalities, and heart failure.

Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is encountered in numerous traumatic and non-traumatic medical situations, and it requires immediate recognition and attention. Clinically, ICP typically presents with a headache that is most severe in the morning, aggravated by Valsalva-like maneuvers, and associated with nausea or vomiting. Papilledema is a well-recognized sign of increased ICP; however, emergency physicians often find it difficult to visualize the optic disc using ophthalmoscopy or to accurately interpret digital fundus photographs when using a non-mydriatic retinal camera.

Rationale: Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage can cause complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis and brain abscess. It is necessary to formulate individualized treatment strategies, such as the use of antibiotics and skull base reconstruction methods. The application of nasal septum mucosal flap can significantly reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
