Description
Summary:In order to determine further the correlation between severe migraine and cerebral atrophy, a group of patients attending either the Charing Cross Hospital migraine clinic or outpatient clinics at the National Hospital, Queen Square, was investigated by computed tomography. The results confirm an association between atrophy and migraine of more than 5 years duration, probably more severe in men than women. The most striking changes were seen in those men who suffered from attacks lasting less than 6 hr.
