Basal artery migraine is a type of brain stem neurological disorder that occurs during migraine attacks, often with total blindness and changes in consciousness.

The disease is more common in adolescent girls. The vast majority of patients are under 35 years of age, and most of the attacks are related to menstruation. Seizures begin to show distinct, inconsistent visual hallucinations or shame, affecting the entire visual field, and even appearing completely blind, accompanied by or subsequent to dizziness, ataxia, dysarthria, tinnitus, and paresthesia in the distal or limbs. Some of these patients have progressive conscious disturbances, and some present incomprehensible dream-like states and mental states before the loss of consciousness. The degree of loss of consciousness is not too deep, and strong stimulation can awaken. The neurological symptoms of these attacks are within 2 to 45 days, and most of them are 10 to 30 minutes. Later, pulsatile headache of the occipital region, often accompanied by vomiting, may persist for several hours or until the patient goes to sleep. Most patients have only a few dramatic episodes, and patients present with common migraine symptoms before or during this typical episode. Basal artery migraine attacks cease and are often replaced by ordinary migraines.
