[Cerebrovascular accidents in patients with migraine (author's transl)].
Cerebrovascular accidents were observed in patients with migraine, and systematic investigation for the presence of a mitral valve prolapse was positive in all cases. Precise diagnosis requires ultrasonography examination. The pathogenicity of the cerebrovascular accidents in these patients could involve an emboligenic mechanism related to the prolapse of the mitral valve.
