[Vasospastic syndrome in a young women with migraine, Raynaud's disease, cerebral ischemia and myocardial infarction].
The case is described of a 32-year-old female patient who has suffered since puberty from acute migraine attacks and Raynaud syndrome of both hands. In June 1981 acute posterior cerebral ischemia occurred. 11/2 years later the patient was hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction with normal and patent coronary arteries. Thereafter, the patient was treated with nifedipin and anticoagulation, and no other vascular complications have since occurred. The authors suggest that the patient is suffering from a diffuse vasospastic disorder leading to migraine attacks, Raynaud syndrome, cerebrovascular ischemia and myocardial infarction, in view of the fact that the patient has no other known risk factors for early vascular complications.
