Magnetic resonance imaging arterial‐spin‐labelling perfusion alterations in childhood migraine with atypical aura: a case–control study

Abstract

MRI-ASL appears to be a promising tool for the diagnostic workup and differentials exclusion in paediatric migraine with aura. Constant and time-consistent non-territorial CBF modifications were found in our sample providing additional insight to migraine with aura pathophysiology. The authors encourage implementing this sequence at the acute phase of unexplained paediatric neurological deficits, with or without accompanying headache.
