  • Title: Ischemic stroke and migraine in childhood: coincidence or causal relation?
    Author: Ebinger F, Boor R, Gawehn J, Reitter B.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 1999 Jul; 14(7):451-5. PubMed ID: 10573468.
    Abstract:
    Although migraine is an accepted cause of cerebral infarction in adults, this association is less well recognized in children. We present two children with migraine and cerebral infarction, which we regard as migrainous stroke, though neither patient fulfills all criteria of the International Headache Society for the diagnosis of migrainous infarction. Review of the literature concerning examples of migraine-associated stroke in childhood suggests that these criteria are too restrictive to comprise the majority of migrainous strokes, especially in this age group.
