Classic migraine patients frequently experience visual field defects, impacting nearly 30% of individuals. These vision impairments, including downward isopter depression, suggest potential anatomical damage requiring further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Classic migraine is a neurological condition.
  • Visual field defects can be a symptom of neurological disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of visual field defects in patients with classic migraine.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted on 116 patients diagnosed with classic migraine.
  • Visual field defects were systematically recorded for each patient.

Main Results:

  • 34.5% of patients (45 eyes) exhibited visual field defects.
  • Common defects included downward isopter depression and visual field contraction.
  • Seven patients presented with homonymous hemianopic defects.

Conclusions:

  • Visual field defects are a notable finding in classic migraine patients.
  • The pattern of visual field loss may aid in localizing neurological damage.
  • Regular visual field testing is recommended for comprehensive patient management.
