Abstract
Photopsia, fortification spectra, and the slow propagation of a scintillating scotoma across the visual field are typical diagnostic features of the visual aura of migraine. In the vast majority of cases, the diagnosis can be made without the need for further investigations. Herein, we report three consecutive cases with an astrocytoma and discuss clinical features of migraine-like visual aura.
