Abstract

V originále

We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who was consulted at our outpatient clinic due to visual obscurations that lasted for two months. Symptoms started as white dots appearing at the bitemporal sides of visual fields that later merged into a continuous mass that caused diffi culties with everyday activities. The patient was in her 13th week of gestation. History included migraines, interestingly worsening in the horizontal position. Typical prodromes included nausea and vomitus with occasional occurrence of psychogenic generalized epileptic-like seizures (without any epileptogenic activity of the brain on repeated EEGs). Past medical therapy for migraines proved to be ineff ective.
