Migraine auras typically last for 5–60 min. An aura that persists for more than a week without evidence of infarction on neuroimaging is called persistent aura without infarction. Persistent migraine aura without infarction is usually described with visual auras. Herein, we are reporting a 24-year-old man who had an attack of a headache with diplopia, vertigo and tinnitus. Tinnitus and vertigo disappeared within 30 min. The headache also disappeared within 6 hours. However, diplopia and ophthalmoplegia persisted for 4 weeks. Secondary causes of bilateral ophthalmoplegia were ruled out by a proper history, clinical examinations and appropriate investigations. A trial with lamotrigine and sodium valproate led to the complete improvement in ophthalmoplegia within 2 weeks. We considered ophthalmoplegia in this patient as ‘persistent brainstem aura without infarction’. We suggest that a possibility of persistent migraine aura without infarction should be considered in all migraineurs who have unexplained and persistent neurological symptoms.
