Key clinical point: Migraine was significantly associated with fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (PCA) status in patients with ischemic stroke.
Major finding: Fetal-type PCA status was independently associated with migraine (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.06; P = .005). The other factors independently associated with migraine were hypertension (aOR 1.97; P = .011), female gender (aOR 2.03; P = .017) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission (aOR 1.08; P = .018).
Study details: This cross-sectional study included 750 patients aged ≥18 yearswith ischemic stroke, of which 11.3% had migraine history.
Disclosures: This study received no specific funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
