Ocular Migraine The picture above* shows the progression of a characteristic ocular migraine Ocular Migraine is a variant of migraine that is not uncommon. It is believed to be caused by the same mechanism as classical migraine; vascular spasm. Instead of the spasm affecting the surface of the brain, these episodes affect the ocular blood supply or the blood supply to the vision center in the brain. Typically, these episodes begin with a visual disturbance that begins in the peripheral vision. It often consists of a semi-circular, jagged, shimmering light, which enlarges and becomes more central. This disturbance usually obscures the vision within the jagged area. The light is often described a pale pastel in color.

Ocular migraine This question submitted by Maureen on 2/1/02. I had my first episode yesterday and it was frightening. Jagged lines and flashes across both eyes for about a half hour with no headache. Ophtamolgist said eyes are fine, but suggested CAT scan. Isn't CAT scan unnecessary at this point?

Ocular Migraine WHAT IS AN OCULAR MIGRAINE? When you hear the word migraine, you may think of a severe headache. But an ocular migraine mainly affects your vision, and may or may not trigger a headache too. Sometimes the symptoms of an ocular migraine are alarming, but this type of migraine is almost always harmless. HOW DOES IT OCCUR? Migraines are thought to be caused by temporary changes in blood vessels, which alter circulation to the area of the brain that serves vision. Some experts feel that emotional or physical stress and heredity may play a role in migraines. Dietary factors may also play a role in triggering ocular migraines. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The symptoms of ocular migraines vary from person to person, and may include: seeing zigzagging lines or patterns, especially at the outer edges of vision seeing shimmering or colored lights temporary blurring or darkening of part of your vision. With a full-blown migraine, a severe, prolonged headache may follow the visual symptoms. You may also experience nausea or vomiting. HOW IS IT TREATED?

Search InnerSelf Magazine Mighty Natural Marketplace Natural Yellow Pages Article Index You Are Here: Home Health : this page The One-Minute (or so) Healer by Dana Ullman Migraine Headaches What most people think are migraine headaches are really tension headaches. "Real" migraine headaches are usually associated with nausea or vomiting and tend to be preceded by seeing flashes of light, zigzags, blind spots, or stars. Doctors call these preceding visual symptoms "auras," which are not nearly as much fun or as practical as what New Age people refer to as auras (and the nausea is no fun at all). Migraines are often triggered by psychological stress, but distinct from tension headaches, migraines tend to begin after a stressed person is finally able to relax; then that "relaxing" weekend or vacation becomes relaxation hell. During a migraine headache, blood vessels initially become overly constricted and then abnormally widened. You usually experience this pain on one side of the head, which can make you feel lopsided. Timber! Other triggers of migraines are sleeping too long, bright lights, too much time between eating, and fluctuations in hormone levels (some women get migraines during menstruation or during ovulation). Certain foods, drinks, and drugs can also set off a migraine.

Treatment Headaches Overview Headaches may occur for any number of reasons including: sinus conditions, hypertension, allergies, tumors, hormonal changes, and most frequently, stress. They are not usually associated with problems related to the eyes. Migraine headaches Migraine, a type of headache that is often hereditary, usually first surfaces between the ages of 15 and 30. They are most common among women and are thought to be related to stress and some foods. Migraine headaches may cause visual symptoms such as light flashes , temporary blind spots, and blurred vision. Migraines are thought to be caused by the dilation and constriction of arteries in the head. These headaches can be extremely painful. The pain is often limited to one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In many cases, migraines are believed to be brought on by stress. This "Friday night" headache often follows the stress relief of a frenetic week during which the blood vessels in the head relax and constrict. Certain foods and additives such as chocolate, alcohol, dairy, and MSG are also attributed to migraines. However, for many, the cause is variable and extremely difficult to pinpoint.

Subject: Ocular Migraine Topic Area: Neurology - General Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: Sue on Sunday, June 07, 1998 : I have had four ocular migraines in the past eight years. I have had one "negative" symptom and the others "positive" symptoms. They lasted about 15 minutes. However, they have not been followed by migraine headaches. I have had a very mild headache. Is there anything that should be taken to prevent these? Also, how serious are they? I have seen an opthomologist who said they were probably ocular migraines. Thank you. Dear Sue: The frequency of these spells is not usually an indication for so called migraine preventative treatment. The most important issue here is to make sure that these spells are not serious (and they do not seem serious as suggested by the long history of 8 years, their infrequency and the fact that your ophthalmologist did not think anything serious is happening in your eye) If the frequency of these spells increase, I would suggest that you consult with a Neurologist with special interest in Neuroophthalmology.

Topic Area: Anxiety Forum: The Mental Health Forum Question Posted By: emgscot52 on Saturday, December 07, 2002 Has anyone ever heard of anxiety attacks being caused by ocular migraine? And accompanied by the Alice in Wonderland syndrome? I have suffered from anxiety attacks for more than 25 years. I get at least one a day and they can last for hours. When they first started I found a great psychiatrist and saw her four more than 4 years. We found and dealt with many problems but the anxiety continued. She thought there could be some physical cause and I had an EEG and glucose tolerance testing. The results were inconclusive so we stuck to Valium. When I moved to the US 15 years ago, I saw a doctor and went through my usual spiel about why I wanted a script for Xanax. He said that because my anxiety symptoms did not include heart palpitations, I did not have anxiety attacks. He said I have ocular migraines. He gave me a sheet of paper that listed all of my symptoms – including the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ syndrome. I’d never told anyone about that one because I was sure they’d just lock me up. The AIWS causes me to feel like I’m very small or very large compared to my surroundings. This happens often when I go to bed. Sometimes, when I’m walking, I feel like I’m 10 feet tall and there’s no way my feet can reach the ground, or I feel like I’m walking in a trench.

Many times migraineurs will have just the eye warning signs or aura of their migraine attack without the headache. This occurs more frequently as one gets older and can be a frightening phenomenon. This is also referred to as acephalgic migraine, or migraine aura without headache. Some physicians refer to ocular migraine as retinal migraine where there occurs repeated attacks of one-sided blind spots or blindness lasting less than an hour and associated with a headache.

Grand Rapids Ophthalmology - Ocular Migraines (Retinal Migraines) Offers a definition of ocular migraines, its symptoms treatments and complications.Category Health Conditions and Diseases Migraine Retinal...... Symptoms of ocular migraine are almost always in one eye. In general thereis no serious ocular complications caused by retinal migraine. http://www.grolaser.com/laservisioncorrection/patienteducation/ocularmigraine.ht

Ocular Migraines Ocular migraines (or retinal migraines) can cause symptoms related to the classic or common migraine. In fact, ocular migraines generally occur in young adults who have had a previous history of common migraines. Also, older people can experience ocular migraines without headache symptoms. Symptoms of ocular migraine are almost always in one eye. Quite often, a gray or visual disturbance which starts centrally and moves off to the side marks the beginning of an ocular migraine. Usually, this can last twenty to sixty minutes. Other common symptoms are loss of vision in one eye and increased sensitivity to bright lights. In general there is no serious ocular complications caused by retinal migraine. Treatment, in most instances is not necessary unless, the ocular migraine is linked to the common migraine. Treatment, in most instances, is not necessary unless the ocular migraine is linked to a common migraine.

17. Grand Rapids Ophthalmology - Patient Education - Migraine The visual symptoms are known as ocular migraine. These phenomena are notsight threatening. The real cause of these phenomena is not known. http://www.grolaser.com/laservisioncorrection/patienteducation/migraine.html

Migraine Migraine is a fascinating disorder to physicians, but not very enjoyable to those who suffer from this malady. Migraine accounts for a significant percentage of time lost from jobs since it affects nearly 20% of the population in some manner sometime in their lives. The word literally means "half of the head" and is derived from the fact that migraine headaches occur predominantly on one side of the head. Migraine is also associated with other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness and bowel disturbances. A wider variety of other central nervous system symptoms have also been reported. Often visual complaints are first noticed, such as light sensitivity, holes in the vision, floaters, mysterious fireballs, blurred vision or double vision. The visual symptoms are known as ocular migraine. These phenomena are not sight threatening. The real cause of these phenomena is not known. Blood vessels in the brain constrict, and during this constriction phase the portions of the brain served by the blood vessel have diminished blood flow and therefore reduced function. This accounts for the wide variety of possible symptoms. When the vessel begins to dilate, normal function is restored, but if the vessel expands past its usual diameter, a throbbing headache in the area of that blood vessel develops. The central nervous system symptoms usually last only a few minutes to an hour. Rarely are permanent losses of function experienced. The pain, on the other hand, may last several hours or days.

Welcome to my no frills Ocular Migraine/Floater page... sorry but I am too busy to get fancy with this right now! Hi My name is Rachel and I suffer from ocular migraines and also floaters. I am STILL in treatment trying to address my problem and am waiting to see some more specialists. I created the following images to show my doctors what I see and they found them so useful that I hoped others could also benefit from seeing them. I am still in progress making these and please bear with me as I am not a true artist...these are merely meant to be a representation of what I see during my episodes. I plan on preparing more images as time allows. Please view these as education materials only. I was for a time, going crazyfeeling like I am all alone but hopefully this will make at least one person feel like they are not suffering alone or silently. Some of these images or a likeness of them are to be published in a medical journal by one of my neurologists although he hasn't a clue when that will be. I will follow-up with more information on that in the future. Email me with questions and or comments I have spent much of my time researching floaters and ocular migraines as I believe, and have been told by doctors, that I have definitely have the ocular migraine and also some floaters. In the past year I have been in the ER to get an MRI, saw three neurologists, one neuro-ophthalmologist (who is great!), two different eye doctors, and a retinal specialist. Only the retinal specialist could see the floaters and recommended I return on an annual basis. He said that my vitreous is intact but it is liquefying and that there is really nothing that can be done about them. He also said that the laser surgery wouldn't work and that it really doesn't relieve floaters for many people. He was referring to a doctor in Virgina specifically.
