Result
Hetero-anamnestic and auto-anamnestic data revealed that,within this age group of patients 45 female patients used to have migraine headaches.Out of them,3 patients suffered from migraine with aura ,while another woman aged 38 suffered from migraine with aura and had neurological deficit in terms of hemiparesis on the right within the aura.The neurological deficit was retained even after the migraine attack.Neuro-imaging methods confirmed the left temporal-parietal position of an ischemic lesion.This case represents the only confirmed instance of migraine infarction.
Conclusion
This study showed that migraine prevalence in patients with acute CVI is not larger than prevalence in general population.In addition,a single instance of migraine infraction was confirmed in a female patient in her 30s who suffered from migraine with aura.
