Abstract

Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare phenomenon. In this setting, extrinsic as well as intrinsic fibers of the third nerve are involved. We report 2 cases of isolated, unilateral, remitting, mydriasis and describe 23 other cases already published. CT scan, MRI and angiogram were always normal when performed. The pathophysiology of this syndrome is probably related to a migrainous manifestation.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
