    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Abnormal visual sensations are hallmark symptoms of migraine.
    • Visual disturbances can be the sole manifestation of migraine in some individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the spectrum of visual disturbances associated with migraine.
    • To differentiate visual symptoms across various migraine subtypes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical features of migraine.
    • Classification of visual phenomena based on patient presentation and migraine type.

    Main Results:

    • Scotoma is the most frequent visual disturbance in migraine.
    • Other visual issues include object distortion, photophobia, diplopia, and polyopia.

  • Retinal migraine involves sudden vision loss; ophthalmoplegic migraine presents with paralysis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Visual disturbances are central to the migraine experience, varying significantly by subtype.
    • Understanding these visual symptoms aids in accurate diagnosis and management of different migraine conditions.
