“…We could not confirm this for the Polish population, which may be connected with different ethnic specificity as described for Raynaud's phenomenon [36]. The frequency of migraines observed in our group was similar to those of a general population [37]. Additionally, diabetes mellitus, one of the main causes of secondary vascular dysregulation, was less frequent in patients with paracentral scotomas.…”

The Aim The aim of this study was to assess general and ocular profiles of patients with single-localisation changes in visual field. Material and Methods The study group consisted of 215 Caucasian patients with normal-tension glaucoma with scotoma on single localisation or with preperimetric glaucoma. During regular follow-up visits, ophthalmic examination was carried out and medical history was recorded. The results of the visual field were allocated as paracentral scotomas, arcuate scotomas, peripheral defects, or hemispheric defects. Statistical analysis was conducted with Statistica 12, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Risk factors such as notch, disc hemorrhage, general hypertension, migraine, and diabetes were strongly associated with specific visual field defects. Paracentral defect was significantly more frequent for women (p = 0.05) and patients with disc hemorrhage (p < 0.001). Arcuate scotoma occurred frequently in patients without disc hemorrhage (p = 0.046) or migraines (p = 0.048) but was observed in coexistence with general hypertension (p < 0.001). The hemispheric defect corresponded with notch (p = 0.0036) and migraine (p = 0.081). Initial IOP was highest in patients with arcuate scotoma and lowest in patients with preperimetric glaucoma (p = 0.0120). Conclusions The specific morphology of scotoma in patients with normal-tension glaucoma is connected with definite general and ocular risk factors.

“…A recent large‐scaled study confirmed higher frequency of migraine and vasospasm in female glaucoma patients (Gramer et al. ). Taken together, it may be hypothesized that female gender is rather related to nonmechanical glaucomatous damaging mechanism.…”

“…Vasospastic disorders such as migraine were reportedly more prevalent in NTG, (Flammer et al 2002) and risk factor for progression in NTG (Drance et al 2001). A recent large-scaled study confirmed higher frequency of migraine and vasospasm in female glaucoma patients (Gramer et al 2015). Taken together, it may be hypothesized that female gender is rather related to nonmechanical glaucomatous damaging mechanism.…”

The presence and size of β-PPA in normal eyes were correlated with older age, greater disc ovality and disc-fovea distance and lower IOP. Further, its presence was associated with female gender, thicker CCT and its size with greater disc area. β-zone of peripapillary atrophy (β-PPA) was also associated with POAG. These results provide reference data of the β-PPA in a Japanese population and possibly indicate clinical importance of β-PPA in glaucoma clinic.

“…This is considered to be related with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and ischaemic optic neuropathy (ION) in the patients with migraine. 18 Migraine was shown to be significantly frequent in the patients with NTG and ION. [19][20][21] Drance et al reported that NTG patients with migraine had faster course of visual field deterioration than those without a history of migraine.…”

The aim of the study was to compare the visual fields during pain attacks in the patients with migraine without aura and tension-type headache using automated perimetry. In this study 25 patients with migraine and 25 patients with tension-type headache were evaluated.The optic disc, macula and retina were assessed and patients with normal values were enrolled into the study. Intraocular pressure of all patients were measured. Furthermore, visual field test was applied to both groups using Humphrey field analyzer (Carl-Zeiss Meditec, model-745 i, Dublin, CA, USA). Both mean deviation and pattern standart deviation values of these two goups were not statistically significant. ARTICLE HISTORY

Migraine and Vasospasm in Glaucoma: Age-Related Evaluation of 2027 Patients With Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

Abstract: The higher frequency of migraine and VS in females could contribute to the female preponderance in NTG. Our findings suggest an association of NTG and migraine and a common, possibly polygenetic, vascular etiology of these two diseases both with familial predisposition.
