Headache is the commonest and may be the first symptom of bacterial meningitis. Headache is a key symptom of
meningeal syndrome or meningism consisting usually of headache, neck stiffness and photophobia.
A variety of microorganisms may cause primary or secondary meningitis. Direct stimulation of the sensory terminals
located in the meninges by bacterial infection causes the onset of headache. Bacterial products (toxins), mediators of
inflammation such as bradykinin, prostaglandins and cytokines and other agents released by inflammation not only
directly cause pain but also induce pain sensitisation and neuropeptide release.
When headache persists after 3 months Chronic post-bacterial meningitis headache.
Medication Overuse Headache (MOH)
Diagnostic criteria:
A.Headache1 present on 15 days/month fulfilling criteria C and D
B.Regular overuse2 for 3 months of one or more drugs that can be taken for acute and/or symptomatic treatment of headache3
C.Headache has developed or markedly worsened during medication overuse
D.Headache resolves or reverts to its previous pattern within 2 months after discontinuation of overused medication4
Notes:
The headache associated with medication overuse is variable and often has a peculiar pattern with characteristics shifting, even
within the same day, from migraine-like to those of tension-type headache.
Overuse is defined in terms of duration and treatment days per week. What is crucial is that treatment occurs both frequently
and regularly, ie, on 2 or more days each week. Bunching of treatment days with long periods without medication intake,
practised by some patients, is much less likely to cause medication-overuse headache and does not fulfil criterion B.
MOH can occur in headache-prone patients when acute headache medications are taken for other indications.
A period of 2 months after cessation of overuse is stipulated in which improvement (resolution of headache, or reversion to its
previous pattern) must occur if the diagnosis is to be definite. Prior to cessation, or pending improvement within 2 months after
cessation, the diagnosis 8.2.8 Probable medication-overuse headache should be applied. If such improvement does not then
occur within 2 months, this diagnosis must be discarded.
Headache attributed to idiopathic
intracranial hypertension (IIH)
Diagnostic criteria:
A.Progressive headache with at least one of the following characteristics and fulfilling criteria C and D:
daily occurrence
diffuse and/or constant (non-pulsating) pain
aggravated by coughing or straining
B.Intracranial hypertension fulfilling the following criteria:
alert patient with neurological examination that either is normal or demonstrates any of the following abnormalities:
papilloedema
enlarged blind spot
visual field defect (progressive if untreated)
sixth nerve palsy
increased CSF pressure (>200 mm H2O in the non-obese, >250 mm H2O in the obese) measured by lumbar puncture in
the recumbent position or by epidural or intraventricular pressure monitoring
normal CSF chemistry (low CSF protein is acceptable) and cellularity
intracranial diseases (including venous sinus thrombosis) ruled out by appropriate investigations
no metabolic, toxic or hormonal cause of intracranial hypertension
C.Headache develops in close temporal relation to increased intracranial pressure
D.Headache improves after withdrawal of CSF to reduce pressure to 120-170 mm H2O and resolves within 72 hours of
persistent normalisation of intracranial pressure
Post-dural (post-lumbar) puncture
headache
Diagnostic criteria:
A.Headache that worsens within 15 minutes after sitting or standing and improves within 15 minutes after
lying, with at least one of the following and fulfilling criteria C and D:
neck stiffness
tinnitus
hypacusia
photophobia
nausea
B.Dural puncture has been performed
C.Headache develops within 5 days after dural puncture
D.Headache resolves either1:
spontaneously within 1 week
within 48 hours after effective treatment of the spinal fluid leak (usually by epidural blood patch)
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Unilateral disorder characterised by brief electric shock-like pains, abrupt in onset and
termination, limited to the distribution of one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. Pain is
commonly evoked by trivial stimuli including washing, shaving, smoking, talking and/or
brushing the teeth (trigger factors) and frequently occurs spontaneously. The pains usually
remit for variable periods.
Diagnostic criteria:
A.Paroxysmal attacks of pain lasting from a fraction of a second to 2 minutes, affecting one or
more divisions of the trigeminal nerve and fulfilling criteria B and C
B.Pain has at least one of the following characteristics:
intense, sharp, superficial or stabbing
precipitated from trigger areas or by trigger factors
C.Attacks are stereotyped in the individual patient
D.There is no clinically evident neurological deficit
E. Not attributed to another disorder
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Classical trigeminal neuralgia usually starts in the second or third divisions, affecting the
cheek or the chin. In <5% of patients the first division is affected. The pain never crosses to
the opposite side but it may rarely occur bilaterally, in which case a central cause such as
multiple sclerosis must be considered. Between paroxysms the patient is usually
asymptomatic but a dull background pain may persist in some long-standing cases. Following
a painful paroxysm there is usually a refractory period during which pain cannot be triggered.
In some cases a paroxysm may be triggered from somatosensory stimuli outside the
trigeminal area, such as a limb, or by other sensory stimulation such as bright lights, loud
noises or tastes. The pain often evokes spasm of the muscle of the face on the affected side
(tic douloureux).
The increasing frequency of posterior fossa exploration and magnetic resonance imaging has
demonstrated that many, possibly most, patients with this condition have compression of the
trigeminal root by tortuous or aberrant vessels.
Classical trigeminal neuralgia is usually responsive, at least initially, to pharmacotherapy.
VERTIGO
Perasaan seolah-olah penderita/benda di sekitar penderita bergerak atau berputar,
biasanya disertai dengan mual dan kehilangan keseimbangan.
ETIOLOGI
Keadaan lingkungan
Motion sickness (mabuk darat, mabuk laut)
Obat-obatan
Alkohol
Gentamisin
Kelainan sirkulasi
Transient ischemic attack (gangguan fungsi otak sementara karena berkurangnya
aliran darah ke salah satu bagian otak) pada arteri vertebral dan arteri basiler
ETIOLOGI
Kelainan di telinga
Endapan kalsium pada salah satu kanalis semisirkularis di dalam telinga bagian dalam
(menyebabkan benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Infeksi telinga bagian dalam karena bakteri Herpes zoster
Labirintitis (infeksi labirin di dalam telinga)
Peradangan saraf vestibuler

PEMERIKSAAN Fungsi
vestibuler/serebeler
1. Uji Romberg
PEMERIKSAAN
2. Tandem Gait : Penderita berjalan lurus dengan tumit kaki kiri/kanan diletakkan pada
ujung jari kaki kanan/kiri ganti berganti.
Pada kelainan vestibuler perjalanannya akan menyimpang, dan pada kelainan
serebeler penderita akan cenderung jatuh
3. Uji Unterberger : Berdiri dengan kedua lengan lurus horisontal ke depan dan jalan di
tempat dengan mengangkat lutut setinggi mungkin selama satu menit.
Pada kelainan vestibuler posisi penderita akan menyimpang/berputar ke arah lesi
dengan gerakan seperti orang melempar cakram; kepala dan badan berputar ke arah
lesi, kedua lengan bergerak ke arah lesi dengan lengan pada sisi lesi turun dan yang
lainnya naik. Keadaan ini disertai nistagmus dengan fase lambat ke arah lesi.
PEMERIKSAAN
4. Past-pointing test (Uji Tunjuk Barany)
Dengan jari telunjuk ekstensi dan lengan lurus ke depan, penderita disuruh
mengangkat lengannya ke atas, kemudian diturunkan sampai menyentuh telunjuk
tangan pemeriksa. Hal ini dilakukan berulang-ulang dengan mata terbuka dan
tertutup.
Pada kelainan vestibuler akan terlihat penyimpangan lengan penderita ke arah lesi
PEMERIKSAAN
5. Uji B
Pasien dengan mata tertutup berulang kali berjalan lima langkah ke depan dan lima
langkah ke belakang seama setengah menit
jika ada gangguan vestibuler unilateral, pasien akan berjalan dengan arah berbentuk
bintang.
Pemeriksaan Khusus Oto-Neurologis
Tujuan : menentukan apakah letak lesinya di sentral atau perifer.
1. Uji Dix Hallpike
2. Elektronistagmogram
Pemeriksaan ini hanya dilakukan di rumah sakit, dengan tujuan
untuk merekam gerakan mata pada nistagmus, dengan demikian
nistagmus tersebut dapat dianalisis secara kuantitatif.
3. Tes Kalori
Penderita berbaring dengan kepala fleksi 30, sehingga kanalis semisirkularis lateralis dalam
posisi vertikal.
Kedua telinga diirigasi bergantian dengan air dingin (30C) dan air hangat (44C) masing-
masing selama 40 detik dengan jarak 5 menit.
Nistagmus yang timbul dihitung lamanya sejak permulaan irigasi sampai hilangnya nistagmus
tersebut (normal 90-150 detik).
Dengan tes ini dapat ditentukan adanya canal paresis atau directional preponderance ke kiri
atau ke kanan.
Canal paresis ialah jika abnormalitas ditemukan di satu telinga, baik setelah rangsang air
hangat maupun air dingin lesi perifer di labirin atau n. VIII
Directional preponderance ialah jika abnormalitas ditemukan pada arah nistagmus yang
sama di masing-masing telinga. lesi sentral
PEMERIKSAAN
Radiologis :
Foto kepala & Ieher,
CT Scan/MRI Arteriografi
Jika diduga suatu infeksi, bisa diambil contoh cairan dari telinga atau dari
tulang belakang.
Jika diduga terdapat penurunan aliran darah ke otak, maka dilakukan
pemeriksaan angiogram, untuk melihat adanya sumbatan pada
pembuluh darah yang menuju ke otak
PENATALAKSANAAN
PENCEGAHAN
Penderita vertigo harus berhati hati saat berjalan untuk menghindari jatuh
Penderita dengan faktor resiko stroke harus mengontrol tekanan darah dan kadar
kolesterol serta berhenti merokok
