GONZALEZ-MARTIN-MORO, J.; PILO-DE-LA-FUENTE, B. e MORENO-MARTIN, P.. Migraineous anterior optic ischemic neuropathy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2009, vol.84, n.9, pp.473-476. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We report the case of a 22-year-old man who presented with headache and blurred vision which had started four days previous. A periventricular lesion was found in the magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was diagnosed with demyelinating neuritis and treated with intravenous methylprednisolone. Discusion: After six months visual function had not improved, so the initial diagnosis was probably erroneous. It is likely that the patient suffered from migraineous optic ischemic neuropathy. In this paper we review the scarce literature about this topic, and the role of migraine as a cardiovascular risk factor.
