April 14th, 2008 . by chubs
Silent migraine is a kind of migraine attack that does not include a headache. Silent migraine is also called acephalgic migraine, sans-migraine, migraine equivalent, eye migraine, visual migraine, ocular migraine, painless migraine or simply migraine aura without headache. Today it is popularly called migraine aura without headache. Migraine aura without headache often occurs later in life and is more common in men than in women. Migraine aura is usually used to refer to visual symptoms (though it is also used to describe many of the other symptoms that go along with migraine). These might comprise of seeing zig zags or flashing lights, or having dizziness or vertigo. It is also reported that only about 15% of migraineurs deal with aura.
