Acephalgic migraine is a neurological syndrome which is a variant of migraine wherein the patient may experience aura symptoms like scintillating scotoma, nausea, hemiparesis, photophobia and other migraine syndromes but does not experience headache. It is also referred to as amigrainous migraine, optical migraine or ocular migraine. Acephalgcie migraine sufferers are more likely than the general population to develop migraine with headache. Its prevention and treatment is generally the same with classical migraine. But since there is an absence of headache, its diagnosis is pertinent to be significantly delays and the risk of misdiagnosis is high. One of its possible example or form is Visual Snow.
