There is evidence tor an association between migraine and Patients with migraine are at increased risk tor white ischemic stroke, but not tor migraine and subarachnoid matter lesions (WMLs) detected on magnetic resonance hemorrhage (SAH) (Jt. imaging (MRI) and these lesions are common, especially in in this study, we reported an index female patient who has females having migraine with aura (MA) (1). Many studies MA with WMLs on MRI and her family members suffering from have reported that brain MRI of migraine patients demonstrated migraine and SAH (Figure 1). focal cerebral areas appearing as ischaemia-like lesions and Report of the lndex Patient and Her Family prevalence of this finding varies, ranging from 6% to 46% (2-6). A 46-year-old woman suffered from headache with The origin and nature of WMLs in migraine patients remain stili paresthesia of the perioral region and hands.
