[Migraine-related stroke. Two case-reports.].
Migraine is the cause of 3-25% of strokes in young adults. Each year we can expect 9-10 cases of migraine-related stroke in Iceland. The most common symptom is hemianopia but other common symptoms include hemiparesis, hemianesthesia, dysphasia and various brain stem symptoms. The stroke must occur during a typical migraine attack and other causes have to be excluded. Here we describe two cases of migraine-related stroke.
