Branch retinal artery occlusion during a migraine attack.
A 60-year-old male with a history of migraine presented with evidence of branch retinal arterial occlusion that developed at the time of an attack of retinal migraine. The diagnosis of branch arterial occlusion secondary to migraine was made after exclusion of numerous possible medical conditions. The possible role of vasospasm in this condition is discussed.
