Background: The association between migraine and obesity gives the clinician with an exciting possibility to alleviate migraine suffering through weight-reduction gastric-restrictive operations. We hypothesized that bariatric weight-reduction intervention (gastric banding) will be associated with reduction of migraine burden in this population. Methods: A total of 105 women between 18 and 50 years of age, admitted for bariatric surgery between April 2006 and February 2007, were screened for migraine. Twenty-nine with diagnosis of migraine were enrolled into the prospective phase. We followed the migraine pattern of these patients for 6 months post bariatric surgery. Results: Baseline median migraine frequency was six headache days a month. Post bariatric surgery, the migraine-suffering women reported of a lower frequency of migraine attacks ( p < 0.001), shorter duration of the attacks ( p = 0.02), lower medication use during the attack ( p = 0.005), less non-migraine pain (44.8 vs. 33%, p = 0.05), and post-bariatric surgery reduction in headache-related disability assessed by the MIDAS and HIT-6 scores. There was a reduction in migraine frequency among both episodic (from four to one episodes a month) and chronic (from 16.8 to 8.5 episodes per month) migraine patient cohorts separately and combined. Conclusions: Among migraine-suffering premenopausal obese women, we found a reduced frequency of migraine attacks and improvement of headache-related disability post bariatric surgery. Our findings should be interpreted cautiously. The absence of a control group and the non-blinded nature of our small study make it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the causal nature of the headache changes observed in this population. Further study is needed to evaluate the possible specific effects of surgical weight loss on migraine in obese women.

Abstract Introduction Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a significant cause of preventable blindness. Patients also suffer from debilitating headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and radicular pain. If IIH continues to rise as predicted, treatment cost will increase to 462.7 million GBP annually by 2030. Weight loss is the only proven disease-modifying therapy for reversal of IIH. Bariatric surgery is an attractive treatment option due to superlative weight loss and reversal of related comorbidities. The case series aims to raise awareness of bariatric surgery as a safe and effective treatment modality for IIH. Method The case series consists of a retrospective analysis of four patients with a pre-operative diagnosis of IIH. They were referred to our department for bariatric surgery between January to December 2018. They were followed up for a total of two years. Results In our case series, all four patients were females with a mean age of 34 years. Mean BMI reduced from 47.3 kg/m2 before surgery to 30 kg/m2 with an EWL of 76.4% at the end of two years after surgery. They all showed significant improvement or resolution in their symptoms related to IIH, and none of them required further CSF pressure reducing procedures afterwards. Conclusions Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective method of treating IIH. It is superior compared to medical management and CSF pressure reducing procedures which have high rates of recurrence.
