Migraine with aura is a type of migraine headache which is preceded by focal neurological symptoms, referred to as an aura. Focal neurological symptoms may affect different areas of the body but most typically affect the eyes and vision, causing the individual to see shimmering light at the edge of their vision or a dark hole at its centre. The neurological symptoms subside before the onset of headache pain.
