A patent foramen ovale, a heart anomaly, was identified in a teen with migraine-associated stroke. This finding highlights the link between cardiac issues and stroke in young patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
  • Cerebrovascular events, including stroke, can occur in adolescents.
  • The association between cardiac anomalies and stroke requires further investigation.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of complicated migraine.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left frontoparietal cortical infarction.
  • Initial transthoracic echocardiogram showed no abnormalities.

Findings:

  • A subsequent transesophageal echocardiogram with contrast identified a patent foramen ovale.
  • Right-to-left shunting was observed through the patent foramen ovale.
  • This cardiac anomaly is a potential source of embolism.

Implications:

  • Patent foramen ovale may play a role in cryptogenic stroke, including in cases associated with migraine.
  • Further cardiac evaluation is warranted in adolescents experiencing stroke, particularly those with migraine.
  • Understanding the interplay between cardiac and neurological conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
