Ocular Migraines (Ophthalmic or Eye Migraines)
A great article can be found here:
The word migraine is associated with a vast array of neurological conditions relating to what most people use in reference to a really bad headache. An ocular migraine is often called a silent migraine, acephalgic migraine, sans-migraine, migraine equivalent, eye migraine, visual migraine, ocular migraine, painless migraine or simply migraine aura without headache. The best name is simply a migraine aura without headache.
Other migraines can be divided into two camps; with headache and without headache (acephalgic). Those two categories are then further divided into specific classes as listed below.
- Migraine without aura
- Migraine with aura
- Abdominal Migraine
- Basilar-type Migraine
- Familial hemiplegic Migraine
- Sporadic hemiplegic Migraine
- Retinal Migraine
