Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials were recorded in 71 children with different types of migraine (e.g. migraine with aura, migraine without aura) or tension-type headache and in 19 controls (mean age of both groups 9 years). P100 latencies were comparable in all three groups.

Visual Evoked

We tested the hypothesis that migraine and tension-type headache are separate disorders based on visual evoked potentials. We recruited 120 migraine without aura patients (MwoA), 64 tension-type headache patients (TTH), and 51 healthy controls. We performed discriminant analysis combined with a stepwise selection of predictors. Mean values of the F1 component were significantly increased over Fp1, C3, P4, O2 and O1 electrodes in MwoA and TTH patients compared with normal subjects. Only the control subjects were correctly distinguished. The increased brain response to visual stimulation detected in both MwoA and TTH may suggest a common neuronal dysfunction in the two headache subtypes.

Visual Evoked

Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (PVEPs) were recorded in 20 patients with migraine with aura (MA), 19 patients with migraine without headache (migraine equivalent; ME) during interictal periods, and 34 normal subjects. All migraine patients had hemianopsia or fortification spectra during attacks. In both MA and ME patients of less than 49 years of age, there were significant ( p<0.01) differences in amplitude of PVEPs at the mid-occipital and contralateral to visual aura electrode sites compared to normal subjects. Amplitude of PVEPs in MA and ME showed significant ( p<0.001) increases when recorded soon after attacks, especially within 10 days. There was a significant ( p<0.01) correlation between percentage asymmetries and the duration of illness in both MA and ME. We conclude from our PVEP findings that cortical spreading depression remains the most likely explanation for the migraine visual aura.

Visual Evoked

We recorded full-field pattern seversal electroretinograms (PERGs) and visual evoked potentials (PVEPs) simultaneously in 15 migraine with aura, 14 migraine without aura patients during the interictal period, and in 23 sex- and age-matched normal subjects. All subjects had normal visual fields. The visual aura in all patients was hemianopsia or fortification spectra. Neither migraine group showed significant differences from normal in latency and amplitude of PERGs. In migraine with aura, the amplitudes of PVEPs in classic migraine at the mid-occipital electrode were significantly ( p<0.01) higher than normal. PVEP amplitudes were significantly ( p<0.01) high or on the contralateral side of the aura than the ipsilateral side in both visual aura and normal subjects, but there was no significant difference in latency. This high amplitude and asymmetry of PVEPs may contribute to defective inhibition between interhemispheric visual occipital areas or striate and peristriate areas.

Visual Evoked

A study of hemi-field pattern reversal visual evoked potentials recorded in the interictal phase was carried out in 44 patients (22 with migraine with aura, 22 without aura) in order to determine whether migraine patients with or without aura and with headaches with strong unilateral predominance, either left or right, exhibit abnormalities after hemi-field stimulation. No differences of P100 latency were found between them and a group of 20 normal individuals, between patients suffering from migraine with aura and migraine without aura and between the affected and the non-affected side of the head. Only in a subgroup of 14 patients with headaches constantly lateralized to a single side, either left or right, was the P100 latency significantly shorter on the affected side ( p < 0.001, t-test) compared with the contralateral non-affected side. The results indicate that in both types of migraine there is a common underlying pathogenetic mechanism and the affected retrochiasmatic optic radiation has an increased response to sensory input modulation.

Objective This study aims to investigate pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in women with tension-type headache, migraine without aura and migraine with aura by comparing them to women without any headache disorders. Study design Prospective cohort study including singleton pregnancies attending the first trimester aneuploidy screening at the University Hospital of Modena, in Northern Italy, between June 2018 and December 2019. Results A total of 515 consecutive women were included and headache disorders were reported in 43.5% of them (224/515). Tension-type headache was diagnosed in 24.3% of the cases, while 14% suffered from migraine without aura and 5.2% from migraine with aura. Birthweight was significantly lower in women affected by migraine with aura respective to other groups, and a significantly higher rate of small for gestational age infants was found in tension-type headache (10.4%) and in migraine with aura (24.9%) groups respective to the others (p < 0.001). Moreover, the admission to the neonatal intensive care unit was significantly higher in all the headache groups (p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis showed that women presenting tension-type headache (OR 4.19, p = 0.004), migraine with aura (OR 5.37, p = 0.02), a uterine artery pulsatility index >90th centile (OR 3.66, p = 0.01), low multiple of the median (MoM) of Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) (OR 0.48, p = 0.05) and high MoM of Inhibin-A (OR 3.24, p = 0.03) at first trimester, are independently associated with the delivery of small for gestational age infants when compared to women without headache disorders. Conclusion Migraine with aura and tension type headache expose women to an increased risk of delivering small for gestational age infants, in association with some utero-placenta markers evaluated at first trimester. These women with headache disorders have an additional indication to undergo first trimester aneuploidy screening and would possibly benefit from specific interventions.
