Paracentral acute middle maculopathy in a patient with frequent migraine with aura: a case report

Conclusion: We propose that migraine is a risk factor for the development of PAMM. The changes in retinal microvasculature in migraine may increase a patient's susceptibility to retinal ischemia. Other risk factors for retinal ischemia, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sickle cell disease, and orbital trauma, have been shown to be associated with PAMM. Further research should be conducted to determine whether there is a definite relationship between migraine and PAMM.
