MİGREN İLİŞKİLİ BAŞ DÖNMESİ ŞİKÂYETİ İLE ACİL SERVİSE GELEN MİGREN HASTALARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Baş dönmesinin eşlik ettiği migren hastalarının detaylı özelliklerini inceleyerekacilserviste yanlış tanı, teşhisve tedavinin önüne geçme yolunda ek bilgiler sunmayı amaçladık.Materyal ve Metod: Bu çalışma prospektif, kesitselbir çalışmadır. Acil servise baş dönmesi vebaş ağrısı şikâyeti birlikteliği ile başvuran6 ay içinde 100 ardışık hasta çalışmaya alındı. Acilserviste tedavisi verildikten sonra baş dönmesi ve baş ağrısı geçen hastalar nöroloji polikliniğineyönlendirildi. Her hasta için belli semptom, hikâye ve klinik özelliklerin sorgulandığı bir formdolduruldu. Hastalar aurası olup olmaması ve ailede migren olup olmamasına göre iki ayrı grubaayrıldı ve farklar incelendi.Bulgular: Hastalarımızdan 87‘si (%87) bayandı. Hastaların 41’i (%41) aura tarif etmekteydi.Baş ağrısının %66’sı tek taraflı olup %32‘si ise bilateraldi. Hastaların %83’de bulantı, %48’dekusma mevcuttu, %92’si fotofobi ve fonofobitarif etmekteydi. Ailede migren hikâyesi olanvertigolu migren hastalarının baş ağrısı süresi, ailede migren hikâyesi olmayanlara göre anlamlıoranda daha kısa süreliydi. Aylık migren sıklığı ise ailede migren hikâyesi olan vertigolu migrenhastalarında diğerlerine göre daha anlamlı yüksekti.Sonuç: Acil servise gelen baş ağrısı ve vertigosu olan hastalar içinde genç bayanlarda, baş ağrısıtek taraflı olanlarda ve fotofobi ve fonofobi tarif edenlere vertigonun eşlik ettiği migrendüşünülmelidir
