Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Basilar artery migraine is a rare subtype of migraine with aura.
  • Migraine, particularly basilar artery migraine, has been associated with an increased risk of stroke.
  • Cerebrovascular events in young adults warrant thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old female presented with a history of basilar migraine attacks.
  • The patient subsequently experienced a stroke attributed to basilar artery migraine.
  • Brain computed tomography revealed bilateral hypodense lesions in the cerebellar hemispheres.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a direct link between basilar artery migraine and ischemic stroke.
  • Neuroimaging confirmed cerebellar involvement, consistent with a posterior circulation stroke.
  • Literature review supports the association between migraine and stroke, particularly in the posterior circulation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing basilar artery migraine as a potential risk factor for stroke.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management of basilar artery migraine may help prevent cerebrovascular complications.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms linking migraine and stroke.
