title: [Death during migraine crisis].
abstract: A 42 year old man presented with a rapidly progressive syndrome, including headache, aphasia, fever, stiff neck and impaired consciousness. Following a transient improvement, the patient died after a six weeks course. The autopsy showed foci of ischaemic necrosis in the white matter of the brain. The patient's clinical history suggests the diagnosis of migraine.
