Summary
A 48-year-old right-handed man attended a neurology clinic. He had a long history of migraine with aura, hemiplegic migraine and glaucoma. He had always had poor vision from his left eye, which deteriorated further with a retinal detachment. When young, he had left buphthalmos (an enlarged eye – often a symptom of childhood glaucoma).
