Abstract
|
|
|
|
Several previous population-based studies reported an increase risk of stroke in association with migraine. Migraine with aura increased stroke risk with pathogenetic process in the central nervous system. However, the pathologic mechanism of migrainous infarction remains elusive. The vasogenic theory ascribes migraine to cerebral dysregulation with aura resulting from vasoconstriction. Migrainous infarction with aura is a rare cause of cerebral ischemic stroke. Also, the relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke remains controversial. We report a case of cerebral infarction associated with migraine with aura that shows reversible arterial narrowing which might be caused by vasospasm.
