title: [Cerebral hemorrhage and migraine].
abstract: The connection between migraine and brain haemorrhage is controversial. We present the case of eight nonhypertense patients all aged under 57 with migraine antecedents who suffered brain haemorrhage during an attack. All underwent analytical study, chest X-ray, electrocardiography, computerized tomography scan and brain panangiography. The study was completed in six cases with an immunological analysis and in a further five with brain magnetic resonance. Seven patients habitually took vasoactive drugs to relieve migraine. The results do not show any other cause of brain haemorrhage. It is possible haemorrhage may be related to vascular lesion brought about by ischaemia secondary to vasospasms.
