Artist's depiction of a scintillating scotoma, exhibiting a flashing visual pattern similar to dazzle camouflage used during WWI.. Scintillating scotoma is a common visual aura that was first described by 19th-century physician Hubert Airy (1838–1903).
Photopsia is the presence of perceived flashes of light in the field of vision. It is most commonly associated with: [4] posterior vitreous detachment; migraine aura (ocular migraine / retinal migraine) migraine aura without headache; scintillating scotoma; retinal break or detachment; occipital lobe infarction (similar to occipital stroke)
The aura is usually followed, after a time varying from minutes to an hour, by the migraine headache. However, the migraine aura can manifest itself in isolation, that is, without being followed by headache. The aura can stay for the duration of the migraine; depending on the type of aura, it can leave the person disoriented and confused.
The aura phase of migraine can occur with or without a headache. Ocular or retinal migraines happen in the eye, so only affect the vision in that eye, while visual migraines occur in the brain, so affect the vision in both eyes together. Visual migraines result from cortical spreading depression and are also commonly termed scintillating scotoma.
