Transient visual field loss secondary to migraine.
Migraine is responsible for a variety of monocular and binocular transient visual field phenomena. These disturbances can mimic symptoms of serious neurologic disease. This paper presents three cases of transient migrainous vision loss and highlights current knowledge regarding migraine. Conditions to be considered in the differential diagnosis of transient field loss are also reviewed.
