Abstract

Retinal migraine may occur without headache, consistent with current International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition criteria. Careful history-taking remains a cornerstone of accurate diagnosis, and time can serve as an invaluable diagnostic tool. Finally, a patient-centered approach is essential, particularly when evidence-based management options are limited.
