Severe, unstable migraine: a risk factor for postoperative ophthalmic artery spasm?

Orbit. 2006 Mar;25(1):65-7. doi: 10.1080/01676830500543013.

Abstract

Acute ophthalmic artery occlusion (AOAO) is rare. We describe a patient with severe unstable migraine who developed AOAO with a giant retinal fold following the removal of a cavernous haemangioma. We discuss prophylatic measures that may be taken in such patients.
