Mass lesions, intracranial hypertension, temporal arteritis, hypertensive encephalopathy, hypoxia, hypercapnea, CO toxicity, glaucoma Thunderclap headache: SAH, vascular dissection, venous thrombosis, pituitary apoplexy. Headache onset during exertion: SAH or dissection HIV and Immunosuppression: infections and tumors
3 Red Flags (cont d) New onset headache over age 50: mass lesions and temporal arteritis Any neurologic sign or symptom: This is the best predictor of intracranial pathology.

Many medication choices without good data on best one to use Phenothiazine Triptan or DHE Ketorolac Valproic Acid Narcotics Prochlorperazine 10mg IV or Metachlopramide 10mg IV, Followed by: DHE 1mg IV if nec. Sumatriptan 6mg SQ followed by phenothiazine if nec Some add diphenhydramine 25mg IV to phenothiazine to prevent akasthesia 3
4 Ketorolac 30mg IV or IM Chlorpromazine.1mg/kg IV (diluted in 20 cc saline) watch for hypotention Valproic acid 500mg to 1000mg IV Intranasal Lidocaine Narcotics What are the contraindications to Triptans and DHE? Widely used medications with excellent safety profile Chest pain is common but not serious and is not necessarily ischemia Contraindications to Triptans and DHE (cont d) Case Conclusion Known CAD or CVD Uncontrolled hypertension Pregnancy Hemiplegic or basilar migraine Within 24 hours of prior use No red flags CT scan not indicated The only lab test done was a pregnancy test which was positive Diagnosed with migraine with aura Case Conclusion (cont d) Case Conclusion (cont d) Pregnancy reduces migraines in most patients but may get worse Triptan and DHE contraindicated since she is pregnant Treated with Prochlorperazine 10mg IV with prompt relief of HA Since she was pregnant and had infrequent attacks, no preventive medications were given Discharged home with OB folllow up
