Abstract

This case report delves into the unusual presentation of a 38-year-old female with a history of migraines, who initially presented with a severe right-sided headache and changes in vision in her right eye, which gradually improved. Although she had consulted with an eye specialist for these issues, she did not receive targeted treatment. This case underscores the necessity of vigilant evaluation and early intervention in a patient with seemingly benign symptoms, thereby highlighting the potential gravity of underlying conditions such as aneurysms. Our analysis and description of this case provide insights for clinicians to consider comprehensive assessment and to explore less common etiologies, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
