Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
  • Olfactory hallucinations are unusual migraine symptoms.

Observation:

  • Three patients experienced olfactory hallucinations during migraine attacks.
  • The hallucinations varied in character and duration.

Findings:

  • The cases suggest a link between migraine and olfactory disturbances.
  • Further research is needed to understand this association.

Implications:

  • This expands the known spectrum of migraine aura symptoms.
  • Clinicians should consider olfactory hallucinations in migraine diagnosis.
