A Case of Unusual Pituitary Apoplexy Presented as Aseptic Meningitis
Kang Min Park, Yeon Mee Kim, Si Eun Kim, Kyong Jin Shin, Sam Yeol Ha, Jinse Park, Sung Eun Kim
Korean J Clin Neurophysiol 2013;15(1):24-26.   Published online June 30, 2013

We encountered a case of pituitary apoplexy who presented with isolated headache and vomiting without visual disturbance or ophthalmoplegia. The cerebrospinal fluid examination was compatible with aseptic meningitis. A computed tomography revealed slightly high density in the pituitary fossa and suprasella area, but the signal change was very faint. Our case suggests that clinicians should take into account the possibility of pituitary apoplexy without visual disturbance or ophthalmoplegia, when aseptic meningitis is suspected.

Application of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography(TCD) for the Diagnosis of Migraine : Preliminary Results
Young-Seok Lee, Byung-Kun Kim
J Korean Soc Clin Neurophysiol 1999;1(1):31-35.
Dignosis of migraine is only based on the medical history, and objective methods to aid the clinical diagnosisare absent. Although transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) abnormalities in headache-free migraineurs have been reported previously, diagnostic criteria for migraine is still lacking and this may limit the practication of TCD for migraine. we prospectively studied several abnormal TCD indices in interictal migraineurs and their sensitivity and specificity to define the optimal diagnostic criteria.

Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography in Vascular Headaches
Chin-Sang Chung, Hye-Seung Lee
J Korean Soc Clin Neurophysiol 1999;1(1):76-79.
The most significant factor in pathogenesis of vascular headaches like migraine and cluster headache is dynamic changes of diameters of the cerebral arteries. TCD is a valuable noninvasive tool to assess the cerebral hemodynamic status by measuring the flow velocities of the intracranial cerebral arteries around the circle of Willis. TCD can evaluate flow velocities and vasoreactivity of the patients with a vascular headache during the ictal phase as well as during intericatal phase. Distribution of the changes recorded differ between types of headaches nd also between the major ictal symptoms. The Changes suggest the presence of prolonged vasospasm interictally and more marked relaxation of the cerebral arteries. TCD can be used to monitor the long-term clinical course of patients with vascular headache by correlation the symptomatic improvement and TCD data before and after long-term pharmacological prophylactic treatments. During the ictal phases large intervention. The results may be used in selecting and evaluating the agents for abortive therapy for acute attacks. In conclusion TCD can quantitatively evaluate vascular headaches when making diagnosis and classification and can provide guidelines to choose more individualized therapeutic options for both acute and long-term treatment
