- The study explores the link between migraine with aura (MWA) and cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) in young adults who experienced their first ischemic stroke.
- Out of 646 patients, those with MWA showed a lower frequency of potentially causal CSVD lesions compared to non-migraine patients, but this disappeared after adjusting for vascular risk factors.
- The findings suggest that MWA may not have a significant association with CSVD as a cause of stroke in this population.
