Migraine stroke requires ruling out other causes. Patent foramen ovale is a risk factor for migraine and stroke, necessitating evaluation. Migrainous stroke diagnosis and treatment involve specific pharmacological and prophylactic strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Migraine and stroke share risk factors, including patent foramen ovale.
  • Differentiating migraine-induced stroke from other stroke etiologies is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline diagnostic criteria for migrainous stroke.
  • To discuss management strategies for patients experiencing stroke with a history of migraine.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on migraine, stroke, and patent foramen ovale.
  • Clinical case considerations for diagnosis and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Migrainous stroke diagnosis requires excluding other stroke causes and identifying persistent neurological deficits consistent with aura.
  • Patent foramen ovale should be investigated using transesophageal echocardiography.

  • Intravenous verapamil or magnesium sulfate can manage acute symptoms in hemiplegic migraine.
  • Prophylactic oral verapamil is recommended for familial hemiplegic migraine.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of migrainous stroke is essential.
    • Patent foramen ovale closure is a potential, though controversial, preventative measure.
    • Further randomized trials are needed to clarify the role of patent foramen ovale closure.
