Abstract:
It is believed that migrainous aura is correlated with cortical spreading depression and spreading benign oligemia. A 54-year-old female with migraine with aura presented with left hemianopia preceding pulsating headache. Perfusion-weighted images revealed delayed contrast arrival to the right occipital lobe and nearly normal relative cerebral blood volume images, indicating benign oligemia. Follow-up perfusion-weighted images revealed resolution of the perfusion abnormalities. We report herein a case of migraine with aura presenting with reversible delayed perfusion in the right occipital lobe on perfusion-weighted images.
