Migrainous infarction - course of the disease and prognosis
The course of the disease was followed up in 15 patients affected by migrainous infarction (13 women and 2 men - aged from 19 to 57). The migrainous infarction was diagnosed according to criteria of the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, dated 1988. The examinees had no risk factors for cerebrovaskular disease. In four patients a cerebral infarction was proved immediately after a migraine attack, by means of a neuroimaging technique. Seven examinees had neurological deficits which lasted longer than seven days, and in four patients, besides neurological deficits, an ischemic infarction was also present on CT. Checkups performed one to ten years after the patients clinical treatment confirmed that all of them were still alive. Three female patients revealed residual homonymous hemianopsia, in the other patients neurological examinations were normal. One of them had a relapse of migrainous infarction three years after the first one. Twelve patients continued to suffer from migraine, while three of them did not experience migraine again. Migrainous infarction therefore appears very rarely if compared to the high incidence of migraine. It si more frequent in women than in men and is characterized by good prognosis.
