Migraine or Acute Angle Closure?

Cristina Stan et al. Rom J Ophthalmol. 2020 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

This paper aimed to present a relatively frequent misinterpretation of a migraine with visual aura. Sometimes, patients with aura and migraine are referred to the ophthalmologic unit with the diagnosis of acute angle closure attack. Thus, we discussed the way an ophthalmologist could make a difference between these two entities.

Keywords: acute angle closure; aura; migraine.
