Abstract
We investigated patients with migraine or migraine variants who exhibited focal cerebral hypoperfusion on arterial spin-labeled (ASL) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging along with neurological symptoms. Fourteen patients with migraine demonstrated focal cerebral hypoperfusion. Three other patients did not have a history of recurrent headaches but exhibited comparable cerebral hypoperfusion to migraine patients on ASL-MRI in addition to neurological symptoms. Patients with migraine may present with neurological symptoms associated with cortical spreading depression during, after, or even without a headache phase. Additionally, the isolated neurological symptoms may be caused by a pathophysiology identical to that of migraine but without presenting with recurrent headaches.
