migraine aura

Hi Charles,
Your take on this is absolutely right. It refers to migraine with aura (which also used to be called "classic migraine").
Reference: I read "Migraine" by Oliver Sacks last year. Fascinating book!

agree Elena Sgarbo (X) : "Emicranica" refers to "emicranea", i.e., "migraine", which often affects one side (left or right) of the head. Ciao Catherine :-)
