Abstract
Transient visual disturbances (VD), such as flashing lights and scotomas, can occur in relatively benign ocular and neurologic diseases, such as migraine with aura. However, VD can also be a manifestation of visually threatening eye conditions and life-threatening neurologic conditions. The case of a 44-year-old woman is presented to highlight the importance of comprehensive ocular and neurologic examination in the diagnosis and management of patients with VD.
