Microvascular brain damage in middle-aged women with a history of migraine with aura and/or ischemic stroke
In our study, markers of microvascular cerebral damage were infrequent in middle-aged women with MA and healthy controls, while stroke was associated with more cerebellar WMH, decreased parenchymal volume, and cortical atrophy. We found no (supra-)additive effect of a history of migraine on the extent of microvascular brain damage in women with stroke.
