What Is Retinal Migraine?
There are several forms of Migraine attacks. Sometimes, the dignosis we're given doesn't conform to those universally accepted from the The International Classification of Headache Disorders. That can cause confusion. Retinal Migraine is one type that is poorly understood, partly because the term is often misused.

What Is Acephalgic or Silent Migraine?
Many people are confused by the terms acephalgic and silent Migraine. That's partly because those terms are descriptive terms rather than diagnostic. Simply put, an acephalgic Migraine is a Migraine without a headache.

What Is Pseudotumor Cerebri, aka Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension?
Simply speaking, Pseudotumor Cerebri is a condition in which the body either produces too much cerebrospinal fluid pressure or doesn't absorb it well, resulting in increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor" because it's symptoms mimic those of brain tumors.

It's a Headache, Isn't It?
Sometimes, a headache is just that — a headache. Other times, a headache can be a symptom of another condition. In addition, there are different kinds of headaches, and treatments for them vary. For these reasons, timely and accurate diagnosis is important if not critical.
