Abstract

Migraine is a suggested risk factor for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). An increased risk of aSAH in migraineurs may be explained by an increased prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA). We performed a case-control study to compare lifetime migraine prevalence in patients with UIA, patients with a history of transient ischemic attact (TIA) or ischemic stroke and controls without a history of aSAH, TIA or ischemic stroke. Patients with UIA were recruited from two university hospitals. Data on patients with TIA/stroke were retrieved from a previous study. Partners of patients with UIA or TIA/stroke were included as controls. Migraine history was assessed via a telephone interview based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition criteria. We calculated odds ratios (OR) for migraine with univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, hypertension and smoking. We included 172 patients with UIA, 221 patients with TIA or stroke, and 164 controls. In UIA patients, migraine prevalence was 24.4% compared with 14.6% in controls (UIA vs. controls; OR 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-3.5) and 22.2% in TIA/stroke patients (UIA vs. TIA/stroke; OR ...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
