TLDR
Characteristics and outcome of MI are described in a larger sample using the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) because previous case series included <10 cases which make conclusions less valid.Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Migrainous infarction (MI), i.e., an ischemic stroke developing during an attack of migraine with aura is rare and the knowledge of its clinical characteristics is limited. ...read more

International Classification of Headache Disorders
TL;DR: The ICHD identifies and categorizes more than a hundred different kinds of headache in a logical, hierarchal system and has provided explicit diagnostic criteria for all of the headache disorders listed.

NIRS in clinical neurology - a 'promising' tool?
TL;DR: Near-infrared spectroscopy has become a relevant research tool in neuroscience and the potential to exploit the established position of NIRS as a functional imaging tool with regard to clinical questions such as preoperative functional assessment and neurorehabilitation is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migraine and vascular diseases: a review of the evidence and potential implications for management.
TL;DR: Forthcoming guidelines should appropriately recommend supporting migraineurs not only with measures aimed at decreasing headache frequency, thus improving quality of life, but also with general measures and preventive strategies aimed to reduce the overall vascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migraine and risk of stroke
TL;DR: It is found that ischaemic stroke in people with migraine is strongly associated with migraine with aura, young age, female sex, use of oral contraceptives and smoking habits, and the mechanism behind the migraine-stroke association is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migraine and stroke: in search of shared mechanisms.
TL;DR: An extended literature review of experimental and clinical evidence supporting the association between migraine and ischemic stroke and proposes mechanistic hypotheses to explain the link, such as microembolic triggers of migraine and enhanced sensitivity to isChemic injury in migraineurs.

TL;DR: As compared with placebo, intravenous alteplase administered between 3 and 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms significantly improved clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke; altePlase was more frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Flunarizine in Prophylaxis of Childhood Migraine: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study
TL;DR: It is concluded that flunarizine is an effective drug for the treatment of childhood migraine and in a study of this length no serious side effects were discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification and natural history of clinically identifiable subtypes of cerebral infarction
TL;DR: There were striking differences in natural history between the groups and the findings have important implications for the planning of stroke treatment trials and suggest that various therapies could be directed specifically at the subgroups.
