Abstract
Headache is a common sign during optic neuritis. These headaches are usually one sided and worsen when the affected eye moves. The aim of the present manuscript is to report severe headache in a patient with optic neuritis and history of migraine headache initiated by flash stimulation of affected eye during visual evoked potential (VEP) recording. Based on our findings we suggest that patients with a history of migraine headache should be informed about possible headache before VEP recording using flash stimulus.
Keywords: Headache, optic neuritis, visual evoked potential, flash stimulation.
