Use of non-invasive sensor to assess intracranial compliance in the management of migraine patients: case report
Year: 2021
Type: preprint
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The objective of this study is to report the use of a non-invasive sensor to assess intracranial compliance (ICC) in patients complaining of migraine. This case report presents a 34-year-old, female patient that was treated for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) by placing a non-adjustable lumboperitoneal shunt. After one year, she presented with headache and signs of overdrainage. Non-invasive monitoring of ICC was done, suggesting a reduction in the ICC, but no change in the opening pressure of the valve. A diagnosis of migraine was made, with improvement after brain monitoring, leading treatment without any new surgical intervention. With this case, we conclude that the use of non-invasive sensor helped the medical team to understand the information obtained by the ICP curve in the office, and in the management of patients with headache complaints, supporting clinical decision making, improving the quality of care, correlated with underlying diseases and procedural and patient safety.
