  • Title: Migraine with atypical aura in the recovery room: a sometimes complicated diagnosis!
    Author: Pianezza A, Barthélémy R, Minville V, Martin F, Faggianelli M.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2008 Jun; 106(6):1844-6. PubMed ID: 18499620.
    Abstract:
    Migraine is a frequent neurological pathology. However, the diagnosis can be difficult to establish, especially when it is accompanied with an atypical aura that can be confounded with a stroke. We describe a case of 38-yr-old patient who presented just after general anesthesia with a perioperative acute migraine with atypical aura which was wrongly treated as a serious cerebral stroke. The patient had not mentioned migraine in her history before the surgery. This lack of information led to unnecessary therapy.
