Zusammenfassung

Ein 48-jähriger Patient wurde von seinem Hausarzt zur ophthalmologischen Abklärung wegen plötzlich aufgetretenem, persistierendem temporalem Gesichtsfelddefekt am linken Auge und einem stumpfen Kopfschmerz überwiesen. Die Diagnose ergab einen zerebrovaskulären Insult bei offenem Foramen ovale und Migräne mit Aura. Der Verschluss des Foramens konnte erfolgreich durchgeführt werden und führte zu einem Verschwinden der Migräneattacken.

Abstract

A 48-year-old patient was referred by his general practitioner for opthalmological work-up to clarify sudden onset of a persistent temporal visual field defect of the left eye and a dull headache. Diagnostic testing revealed a cerebrovascular insult with open foramen ovale and migraine with aura. The foramen was successfully closed and resulted in disappearance of the migraine attacks.
