I had my first and only ophthalmic migraine back in Feb/March of this year. I had three self-diagnosed migraine headaches during one week back in '95 but none before or since. I was suffering from end-stage renal failure at the time so that may have had something to do with that. My recent "visual disturbance" came and went in about 12 minutes. It was not accompanied by a headache or anything else. I saw a jagged white line in the upper left quadrant of my left eye. behind it (even further upper left) was a blinking checkerboard pattern. I told my wife "Something is really wrong." I waited a few minutes to see what happened and we discussed calling the ambulance or driving to the emergency room. Then it just went away.
I mentioned it on my yearly visit to the ophthalmologist I see for diabetic eye care. He suggested seeing a neurologist "who might want an MRI."
The neurologist wanted an MRI of my brain, and MRAs of my neck and brain. Just finished getting them today. I am going back to the neurologist next week.
