Léhleng Agba*, Donissongui Soro, Awissoba Awidina-Ama, Hugo Yaïche, Olivier Heinzlef

Migraine is the most common type of headache in young adults mainly in women. It has been reported by some observational studies as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. We report the case of a migrainous patient who presented an ischemic stroke following a prolonged episode of visual aura. His only other risk factor was smoking.
