How to Diagnose Migraines with Aura
During an appointment, a doctor would conduct a physical exam to diagnose a migraine with aura. In addition, you need to provide information about your family and medical history, as well as other symptoms. Some diagnostic tests can be performed, such as:
– A CT scan to generate detailed pictures of the brain
– An eye exam to rule out possible eye issues that would cause visual signs
– A MRI scan to generate pictures of the brain
In certain cases, you may be referred to a specialized doctor to rule out possible brain diseases that may be causing the symptoms. [6]
