ABSTRACT

Migraine is a condition characterized by recurrent headache. Visual aura (VA) is the most common migraine aura. VA symptoms divide into two groups: positive and negative. Patients often report various visual phenomena, which can be challenging to describe. Because visual aura may mimic other conditions that also cause visual symptoms, it can disguise those issues. An interdisciplinary approach and a careful differential diagnosis are necessary.

Keywords: migraine, migraine aura, vision aura, retinal migraine
