Description
Visual snow (VS) is a distressing condition with persistent visual phenomena often leading to multiple unnecessary examinations and treatment attempts. VS impairs daily life by interfering with visual perception, particularly with reading. Neuronally, VS patients are thought to have differences in regional metabolism resulting in modulation of neuronal sensitivity and excitability. We hypothesize to see altered functional connectivity in patients with VS in brain regions associated with visual perception.
