Aura phenomenon: a proposal for an etiology-based clinical classification by Umberto Pensato, Andrew M. Demchuk, Jens P. Dreier, Kevin C. Brennan, Simona Sacco, Michele Romoli

“…Main body We propose the following terminology and etiology-based clinical classification for the aura phenomenon: (i) Migrainous Aura (when the etiology is migraine), (ii) Non-migrainous Aura (when there is an alternative etiology), (iii) Aura of uncertain clinical etiology (when etiology is unclear), and (iv) Migrainous Infarction (a typical migrainous aura in a patient with migraine with aura associated with an infarction in a corresponding anatomical brain region). Conclusion This nuanced classification aims to aid in the diagnostic evaluation and phenotyping of aura phenomenon, ultimately improving the diagnosis and management of the different associated neurological conditions. …”
