Area of Science:

Neurology
Ophthalmology

Background:

Review of ophthalmoplegic migraine (OM) and retinal migraine (RM).
Discussion of incidence, pathophysiology, symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment.

Observation:

Three cases presented: recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia (cranial nerves III and VI), migraine with internal ophthalmoplegia, and migraine with visual aura and retinal infarction.
Emphasis on the infrequency of OM (0.7 per million) and RM (0.5-7% of migraines with aura).

Findings:

Pathophysiology of OM and RM remains uncertain.
Potential for permanent oculomotor and visual deficits.
Challenges in differentiating from Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and headache-free migraine variants.

Implications:

Highlights the need for increased awareness of these rare migraine types.
Underscores the importance of thorough differential diagnosis to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate management.
Suggests further research into the underlying mechanisms of OM and RM to improve patient outcomes.
