1, Migrainous infarction is considered a rare complication of migraine.

2, CONCLUSIONS: This study supports previous observations that migrainous infarction mostly occurs in the posterior circulation, and in younger women with a history of migraine with aura.

3, Migrainous vertigo (MV) is different from a common peripheral vertigo or central vertigo because MV always complicates with migraine.

4, Differentiation between migrainous infarction and prolonged migraine aura is difficult and associated with delayed admission of patients.

5, A diagnosis of migrainous infarction is seldom made because, in most stroke patients, other causes for the ischemic event are discovered.

6, Vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) may influence migraines, and may also have some bearing on migrainous vertigo (MV), but the research literature is limited.

7, In this study, 17 of 8137 stroke patients received a final diagnosis of migrainous infarction after an extensive work-up.

8, Although several studies reported silent brain lesions on neuroimaging in patients with migraine with aura, knowledge about lesion patterns in acute migrainous infarction is scarce.
