Cerebrospinal-fluid abnormalities associated with migraine.

T J Day, W Knezevic

    The Medical Journal of Australia
    |September 29, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities, including pleocytosis and elevated pressure, were observed in four young women during prolonged migraine attacks. These changes resolved completely, suggesting a link to the migraine process affecting meningeal vascular permeability.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis

    Background:

    • Migraine is a common neurological disorder.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities are infrequently reported in migraine patients.
    • Understanding CSF changes in migraine is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of young women experiencing protracted prodromal migraine were studied.
    • These patients presented with CSF pleocytosis (increased white blood cells) and elevated CSF pressure.
    • The CSF abnormalities were transient and resolved completely following the migraine attack.

    Findings:

    • The observed CSF pleocytosis and raised pressure were attributed to the migrainous process.
    • It is hypothesized that migraine affects meningeal vascular permeability, leading to these CSF changes.
    • No other causative factors for the CSF abnormalities were detected.

    Implications:

    • This study suggests a potential mechanism linking migraine pathophysiology to transient CSF alterations.
    • The findings may aid in the differential diagnosis of headaches presenting with neurological signs.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise relationship between migraine and CSF dynamics.
