migraine with aura

Seeing-spots skull-splitter

Migraine with aura is a type of migraine headache preceded or accompanied by sensory disturbances—typically visual phenomena like flashing lights, zigzag patterns, or blind spots, though tingling sensations and speech difficulties also occur.

The aura usually lasts fifteen to sixty minutes before the headache phase begins.

About a quarter of migraine sufferers experience auras: She knew a migraine was coming when the aura started.
