Abstract

Despite tremendous advances in the neurosciences of migraine and stroke, the relationship between these two conditions remains to be fully elucidated. For example, the exact pathophysiological basis for cerebral infarction during the course of a true migraine attack is still an enigma to be unraveled. Occasional clues are provided to us. We will review the evidence to suggest that such strokes may indeed occur, given the limits of our current knowledge, although this exact scenario is quite rare, overdiagnosed, of uncertain mechanism(s), and generally carries an excellent prognosis.
