Description
Laurel Ovrom and colleagues present, in a 2026 clinical case, a 51-year-old woman who arrived at a headache clinic with three weeks of a new, constant, worsening headache. A week of vision loss in her right eye followed. Her past history included menstrual migraine and endometriosis treated by surgery, with estrogen replacement afterward.
The headache differed from her old pattern in length and severity and came without the usual warning signs. She found a dark blind spot with an irregular edge in the lower inner field of the right eye while applying makeup, with no eye pain or color change. Temple and scalp tenderness appeared on examination. The case sets up a diagnostic puzzle where giant cell arteritis and optic nerve ischemia sit high on the list.
