Abstract
Two general population studies [1,2] have found that migraine in general, and especially women with aura, has an increased risk of cerebellar infarct-like lesions by MRI. In addition, there was a trend for higher risk of cerebellar lesions in those migraine subjects with a higher migraine attack frequency, which would have obvious clinical and management implications.
