Sustained visual aura: a totally new variation of migraine

Headache. 1991 Oct;31(9):582-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1526-4610.1991.hed3109582.x.

Abstract

An unusual case of an abnormally long-lasting (over 12 months) visual migraine aura is reported. The absence of signs of a structural lesion, as shown by neuro-imaging and clinical investigations, make difficult the differential diagnosis between a new variation and a complication of migraine.
