Additionally, a migraine is characterized by a moving, scintillating scotoma, not a fixed, bilateral, homonymous field cut. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Previous studies also noted the predominance of visual symptoms and signs.1,2,7,10,11,15,20 The visual field defect frequently was a hemianopia or quadrantanopia, or, less frequently, scotomas.1 Despite the fact that 30 patients (38%) had thalamic infarcts [jamanetwork.com]
Workup

Etiology
We presented a patient with a posterior cerebral artery territory infarction due to an unexpected etiology as stenosis of internal carotid artery (ICA) with existence of fetal type PCA. 1. [hindawi.com]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
They are large-artery atherosclerosis, embolism, small-vessel disease, stroke of other determined etiology, and stroke of undetermined etiology. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]
