Rodiet A. et F. Cans. Visual auras in epileptics (Archives de Neurologie No. 9 —1907)

Delasiauve divided auras, as a set of phenomena of the onset of a seizure, into motor, sensitive and intellectual, according to which convulsive blinking, painful sensitivity to light, etc. are observed in front of our eyes. Among other authors, Pichon adheres to the division of the aura into distant and immediate prodromal symptoms. The authors of the article call any manifestation from the side of the eyes that precedes an attack in half an hour as prodromal. During this period, various and transient paralysis of the ocular muscles, changes in accommodation, heaviness of the eyelids and increased intraocular pressure, photopsia and progressive amblyopia with blindness for several seconds were noted.
