Migraine with aura shows gadolinium enhancement which is reversed following prophylactic treatment.
A 26-year-old patient complained of a series of migraine attacks with aura accompanied by slight pleocytosis and gadolinium (Gd-DTPA) enhancement next to the left middle cerebral artery. The migraine attacks and Gd-DTPA enhancement were reversible during prophylactic treatment with flunarizine.
