Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
  • Migraine with aura involves transient neurological symptoms preceding the headache phase.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old woman presented with a 12-year history of monthly headaches.
  • Symptoms included visual aura (zig-zag bands in the right visual field) followed by left frontal throbbing headache, photophobia, and nausea.
  • Headaches lasted 1-3 days.

Findings:

  • The patient's neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain were normal.
  • Family history revealed a sister diagnosed with migraines, suggesting a potential genetic predisposition.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the clinical diagnosis of migraine with aura, even with normal neuroimaging.
