Migrainous infarction of the eye: Two cases of monocular ischemic complications associated with retinal migraine.

Retinal migraine can complicate with permanent monocular visual loss, suggesting potential migrainous infarction of the retina or optic nerve.

Acute and preventive migraine therapy may be considered in retinal migraine patients, to mitigate rare but potentially permanent visual loss.
