Abstract

Headache, often migrainous, is common in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies, whether or not they meet Sydney criteria for a definite diagnosis of Hughes syndrome. Migraine may be a harbinger of stroke in this patient population and even refractory migraine may be highly responsive to antithrombotic therapy in this clinical context.
