Migraine-like visual aura: Can it be an early-onset symptom of astrocytoma?

Objective & Hypothesis:Photopsia, fortification spectra, and the slow propagation of a scintillating scotoma across the visual field are typical diagnostic features of the visual aura of migraine.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:Herein, we report three consecutive cases with an astrocytoma and discuss clinical features of migraine-like visual aura.

Abstract

Photopsia, fortification spectra, and the slow propagation of a scintillating scotoma across the visual field are typical diagnostic features of the visual aura of migraine. In the vast majority of cases, the diagnosis can be made without the need for furtherinvestigations. Herein, we report three consecutive cases with an astrocytoma and discuss clinical features of migraine-like visual aura.

Özet

Görme alanında fotopsi, fortifikasyon spektrumu ve parlama skotomu, görsel auralı migrenin karakteristik tanısal özellikleridir. Olguların büyük bir çoğunluğunda tanı ileri tetkiklere gerek kalmaksızın yapılabilmektedir. Bu makalede, astrositomlu üç ardışık olgu sunuldu ve migren benzeri görsel auranın klinik özellikleri tartışıldı.
