ISAZA BERMUDEZ, Rodrigo Alberto; PAULO TRUJILLO, José David; VALLEJO MESA, Dionis Magnary  y  MUNOZ CARDONA, Marta Lucía. Headches with ocular localization and involvement. Iatreia [online]. 2005, vol.18, n.4, pp.417-430. ISSN 0121-0793.

The most frequent primary headaches, including migraine variants, and intrinsic optic nerve disorders that produce headache, are reviewed. The latter are often accompanied by autonomic nervous system alterations which lead to vasomotor changes, frequently present in neuralgic processes known as headaches with disautonomic involvement. Epidemiological, semiological, clinical, and therapeutical aspects of different cranial, facial and ocular diseases that produce headache are included. Some physiopathological elements that may help to analyze painful craniofacial processes are discussed. Secondary headaches and common facial neuralgias, on the other hand, are also considered because they may confuse the differential diagnosis.

Palabras clave : amaurosis; epiphora; heterophoria; ocular congestion; ophtalmoplegia; photopsia.
