Retinal migraine

Rom J Ophthalmol. 2020 Apr-Jun;64(2):96-99.

Abstract

Retinal migraine is usually defined by transitory attacks of fully reversible monocular visual loss, mostly with aura. An accurate diagnostic can be completed based upon the International Classification of Headache Disorders-2 (ICHD-2) criteria. In view of this, we summarized some clinical features, treatment principles, complications, prognosis and prophylaxis.

Keywords: eye vascular network; migraine; monocular visual loss; retinal blood vessels.
