    Abstract:
    Over 3 years we evaluated two patients, an adolescent and a child, with migraine-like headache and ischemic stroke. Based on our clinical observations and on literature review of migraine and stroke in the pediatric age group, we believe that the criteria of migrainous infarction outlined by the International Headache Society (IHS) could be occasionally too restrictive. Therefore, we suggest subclassifying migrainous infarction into: (i) "definite", referring to the patients whose ischemic stroke fulfills all the IHS criteria, (ii) "possible", referring to ischemic strokes which fulfill some, but not all, criteria. This subclassification of migrainous infarction may be relevant in clinical practice and in human research studies.
