People report seeing "snow", much like the visual noise or "static" on a TV screen after transmission ends. However, these do not commonly result in benefits and the evidence for their use is very limited. Medications that may be used to treat the condition include lamotrigine, acetazolamide, or verapamil. There is no established treatment for visual snow. Initial functional brain imaging research suggests visual snow is a brain disorder. Research has been limited due to issues of case identification and diagnosis, the latter now largely addressed, and the limited size of any studied cohort. A failure of inhibitory action from the TRN to the thalamus may be the underlying cause for inability to suppress excitatory sensory information. Another hypothesis proposes that visual snow syndrome could be a type of thalamocortical dysrhythmia and may involve the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). The underlying mechanism is believed to involve excessive excitability of neurons in the right lingual gyrus and left anterior lobe of cerebellum. Migraine and tinnitus are common comorbidities and are both associated with a more severe presentation of the syndrome. The condition is typically always present and has no known cure. Visual snow, also known as visual static, is an uncommon neurological condition in which the affected individuals see white, black, transparent, or coloured dots across the whole visual fields.
