چکیده
PREMENSTRUAL migraine and closed-angle glaucoma have many points of similarity: thus both may be provoked by the water-drinking test; all are more severe in the early morning; contributory factors precipitating attacks include emotional stress and fatigue; and in both there may be other systemic disturbances such as nausea, lethargy, and vertigo. The excitable temperament of patients with closed-angle glaucoma has long been recognized and has been confirmed by recent studies (Berger and Zimet, 1959), and this same type of personality is found in patients with premenstrual syndrome (Kessel and Coppen, 1963).
