Abstract

The term “aura” refers to a well-defined pattern of usually positive, progressive, and reversible neurological symptoms, with spreading depolarization as the underlying mechanism. While commonly associated with migraine, aura can also occur in other neurological disorders (i.e., cerebrovascular disorders). However, current terminology inadequately describes its different underlying clinical etiologies.
