Abstract

RSW provisionally diagnosed the condition to be a migraine aura, asked DGY to lie down in the car and take rest and asked him to hand over the phone to X. DGY also phoned his family members who drove to the spot. [7] The pathophysiology of the clinical presentation in our report may involve the CSD reaching the right temporal lobe and affecting the hippocampus and the parahippocampal pathways and parietal cortex of the right (nondominant) side, causing disturbance in the normal networks involved in spatial navigation. [...]transient ischemic attack was also considered to be less probable. The clinical implication of the present report can be the possible inclusion of migraine in the differential diagnoses of TTA when the clinical scenario – past history of migraine, aura and headache – is appropriate.
