ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Migraine may be a factor of increased cerebral sensitivity to ischemia. Previous studies were conducted within 6 to 72 after stroke onset. We aimed to determine if an accelerated infarct growth exists in migraine patients within the first 4.5â¯h.METHOD:
A retrospective case-control study was conducted where all patients admitted for acute stroke started <4.5â¯h before and who underwent perfusion CT were assessed. The hypoperfusion and necrosis volumes on initial CT perfusion were analyzed, as well as the final infarct volume on MRI performed within 72â¯h after admission. A no-mismatch pattern was defined as a ratio necrosis/hypoperfusion volumeâ¯>â¯83%.RESULTS:
24 patients with personal history of migraine were identified, 8 of them with aura. The control cohort included 51 patients. No difference was found between groups in terms of demographics, initial severity or outcome or presumed cause of stroke. Mean time to CT scan was 125â¯min in migraine patients and 127â¯min in the control group. A no-mismatch pattern was equally found in migraine patients and controls, even after adjustment for age, sex and presence of proximal occlusion (pâ¯=â¯.22). The final infarct volume was also similar in both groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Migraine patients did not display more no-mismatch pattern than controls within the 4.5â¯h of stroke onset. This deviates from previous studies and may be due to our earlier time from stroke onset to CT scan. A history of migraine may lead to malignant progression of ischemia but occurring only after several hours.Palabras clave
