or usual aura or warning-a dark
spot or . dark spot surrounded
with zig-xag flashes, 1t one side Of
the field Of vision, lasting 20 min
utcs or more, before the onset Of the
one sided head pain.
In some cases there u drst noticed
dimness Of vision on one side, In
creasing until either right or left
half OF each field leach eye) IL blind,
before ths head pain begins.
In Z few casee. instead Of these
visual warnings or aurae patients
notice sudden one-Sded deafness
or ringing In the ear, or sudden loss
Of taste or some other sudden per-
version Of the taste sense. Still
others complain OF a tingling in one
arm followed by . numbness Of that
arm, preceding the headache: or his
numbness may give way to an ach-
ing Of the arm instead Of the head.
In rare cases the aura takes the
form Of . transient loss or great
impairment Of speech, confusion d
speech, strange mumbled efforts al
speech or utter inability to speak
And accompanying this the patient
may experience one-sided tinglinl
or weakness, arm or leg.
