rCBF after TIA and during migraine attacks.

J Olesen, S Vorstrup, M Lauritzen

    Cephalalgia : an International Journal of Headache
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) may result from carotid stenosis, potentially causing silent brain damage. Migraine headaches show distinct cerebral blood flow patterns compared to TIAs.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Cerebrovascular Medicine
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are typically linked to carotid stenosis, but hemodynamic significance is not always present.
    • Recent regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies suggest TIA can occur in specific cases despite non-hemodynamic significant stenosis.
    • Traditionally, TIAs were not thought to cause brain damage, but CT scans reveal silent infarcts and rCBF abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between carotid stenosis, transient ischemic attacks, and cerebral blood flow.
    • To explore the potential for silent cerebral damage following TIAs.
    • To differentiate cerebral blood flow alterations in TIAs from those observed in migraine.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of studies on carotid stenosis and TIA.
    • Analysis of computed tomography (CT) findings for silent infarcts.
    • Measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in patients with TIA and migraine.

    Main Results:

    • Carotid stenosis, even without hemodynamic significance, can be implicated in TIAs.
    • Silent infarcts and persistent rCBF abnormalities are detectable after TIAs.
    • Classic migraine exhibits distinct rCBF alterations, likely due to cortical spreading depression, differing from TIA and common migraine.

    Conclusions:

    • TIAs may lead to subclinical cerebral damage not traditionally recognized.
    • rCBF measurements provide insights into the pathophysiology of TIAs and differentiate them from migraine.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term consequences of TIAs and their underlying mechanisms.
