Migraine is a chronic neurological condition that has a well-documented, yet not fully understood connection to stroke, particularly in patients who experience migraine with aura (MA). Although migraine can rarely be directly related to stroke, in the form of migrainous infarction, it serves as an independent risk factor, particularly when combined with other factors such as smoking or hypertension. This study will thoroughly review and summarize the existing literature regarding the relationship between migraine and stroke.
