Hubert Airy (June 14, 1838 – June 1, 1903) was an English physician[1] who was the pioneer in the study of a migraine.[2] He was the son of Sir George Airy, Astronomer Royal. He has two portraits in the National Portrait Gallery.[3]
Airy was one of the first to describe the common visual aura, which is the second stage in an outbreak of a migraine attack and precede a headache, and also coined the term scintillating scotoma for it.[citation needed]
