Comorbid neuropathologies in migraine

Abstract: The identification of comorbid disorders in migraineurs is important since it may impose therapeutic challenges and limit treatment options. Moreover, the study of comorbidity might lead to improve our knowledge about causes and consequences of migraine. Comorbid neuropathologies in migraine may involve mood disorders (depression, mania, anxiety, panic attacks), epilepsy, essential tremor, stroke, and white matter abnormalities. Particularly, a complex bidirectional relation exists between migraine and stroke,… Show more

“…Although the evidence supporting an etiologic relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke risk is substantial (Cole & Kittner 2010; Sacco et al 2012; Sacco et al 2008; Sacco et al 2006), the precise mechanism(s) driving this relationship remains uncertain. Stroke, which typically affects older individuals, can be targeted for prevention by optimizing well-established standard vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, among others.…”

“…There seems to be a bi-directional relationship between migraine and depression, with each disorder increasing the risk of the other one [7][8][9][10] . however there are few studies evaluating the severity of depressive symp-toms in patients with chronic migraine 10 .…”

“…However, the distinctiveness and severity of MA is such that prior attacks are unlikely to escape the memory. Nothing in the history suggested TIAs [1] or other comorbid pathologies [2]. Spontaneous, atraumatic, dissection of the carotid [5] or vertebral [6] artery has been reported to mimic migraine but symptoms are usually transient rather than persistent as in this case.…”

“…De novo diagnosis above this age may require investigation to exclude other causes (transient ischaemic attacks [TIAs], neoplasm, temporal arteritis, epilepsy, pituitary macroadenoma [1]) and comorbid pathologies, especially stroke [2]. Cases of de novo postmenopausal migraine are reported, sometimes with familial basis [3], but these episodes are usually without aura.…”
