Migraine May Represent an Independent Risk Factor for Retinal Stroke: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Migraine is an established risk factor for cerebral ischemic stroke, with an especially robust association in patients with migraine with aura. However, it is not known if migraine is a risk factor for retinal stroke (central or branch retinal artery occlusion; CRAO or BRAO).
