[edit] Names

This article is linked from Migraine, and is listed as a synonym of amigrainous migraine, ocular migraine, and optical migraine. I've also heard it called opthamalic migraine by a doctor. Would it be appropriate to redirect all of those to this page? Or is one of them in fact a better name? --Masamage 03:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

SS isn't actually a synonym, although it's a fairly common symptom. It can be caused by other things, like glaucoma, and it's possible to have acephalgic migraines without SS. I've tweaked the Migraine page accordingly. Good catch. CMat 21:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
