N2  - PURPOSE: To present the clinical features of a case of migraine precipitated by head trauma. <br><br>METHODS: Detailed history was obtained and ophthalmic and neurologic examinations were performed. <br><br>RESULTS: This patient's history of transient loss of vision followed by severe headache precipitated by a direct blow to the top of the head is characteristic of this phenomenon. Normal neurologic and opthalmic examination findings, normal magnetic resonance imaging, and a history of similar episodes are all consistent with this diagnosis. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Familiarity with this entity can obviate an expensive examination for patients with these classic symptoms.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
