Scintillating scotomata associated with internal carotid artery dissection: report of three cases

N M Ramadan et al. Neurology. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

We report three cases of cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection, which presented with visual symptoms resembling the migraine aura. When prolonged and especially when associated with other neurologic symptoms, such transient and positive visual phenomena can be manifestations of ICA dissection that mimic migraine.
