We describe an extremely rare case of migraine-associated monocular diplopia developed in a 23-year-old man after sudden cessation of smoking. The physical examination and brain MRI scan were unremarkable. The symptoms resolved after starting nicotine patch. We reviewed the literature and discussed

BACKGROUND Several studies in the past have reported inconclusive evidences on association of smoking and migraine. Nevertheless, no study so far reported association of smokeless tobacco with migraine. The objective of this study was to examine the association of smoked and smokeless tobacco use

Some abstinent smokers develop withdrawal symptoms when they stop using nicotine gum or when placebo is substituted. The present report describes a patient who suffered from severe migraine headaches after sudden discontinuation of nicotine gum. It has been suggested that physical dependence may be

Flunarizine is an anti-migraine agent that blocks the Ca2+ entry across cell membrane. In order to obtain a clue of mechanisms underlying the migraine headache, modifications by flunarizine of the response to nitric oxide (NO), a cerebral vasodilator and algogenic agent, derived from perivascular

1. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of nicotine-evoked relaxation of the guinea-pig isolated basilar artery and to study the effects of drugs associated with the aetiology or treatment of migraine on the nicotine response. 2. The guinea-pig isolated basilar artery,

BACKGROUND Migraine mechanisms remain largely uncovered for various reasons including a very high complexity of the neurophysiological mechanisms implicated in this disorder and a plethora of endogenous biologically active compounds involved in the pathological process. The functional role of

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are a safe and highly effective method of birth control, but can also be associated with some risks, mainly a potential thrombotic risk. OCs may condition the course of headache and sometimes start it, but their influence on the clinical evolution of migraine is not easily

OBJECTIVE In the past few years, otologists have been seeing an increasing number of patients with vestibular disorders due to migraine-associated vestibulopathy.
