Summary
The epidemiology of migraine, social causation, and patterns of medical treatment among adolescent migraineurs were studied in 120,000 households in various regions of the United States and reported from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY. Silent cerebral infarction or stroke was not associated with headache. Doppler (TCD) together with abnormal MRA were associated with frequent headache. Screening with TCD may be helpful in the evaluation of frequent headache and the risk of stroke.
