SYNOPSISTwenty-four patients with benign recurrent transient monocular blindness of possible migrainous etiology are presented. The visual loss was predominantly one-sided and stereotyped in character. Postural change or exercise was a provocative factor in half the cases. Other neurologic symptoms were not present and only one patient developed permanent visual loss during an attack. Evaluation by CT scanning, angiography, echocardiography, and ophthalmodynamometry, when performed, was uniformly normal. (Headache 27:66-69, 1987)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
