    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Migraine attacks can lead to ischemic optic neuropathy, a serious visual disturbance. Propranolol hydrochloride may help prevent further visual issues in affected individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
    • Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is a sudden vision loss caused by optic nerve damage.
    • The link between migraine and ION is not fully understood.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with a history of migraine experienced vision loss during a migraine episode.
    • Clinical and radiological evaluations ruled out other causes of visual impairment.
    • Fluorescein angiography indicated an ischemic process affecting the optic discs.

    Findings:

    • Both patients suffered permanent visual loss.
    • No additional visual disturbances were reported during a two-year follow-up period.
    • Patients were treated with oral propranolol hydrochloride during the follow-up.

    Implications:

    • This case series suggests a potential association between migraine and ischemic optic neuropathy.
    • Propranolol hydrochloride may play a role in preventing recurrent visual disturbances in such cases.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimal management strategies.
