Abstract
Migraine is often one of the main symptoms leading to MRI, and in many cases white matter lesions of unspecific significance are discovered, thus placing demyelinating diseases in the differential diagnosis. Our study underlines the potential pathogenetic role of PFO in generating white matter lesions in migraine patients (45%), particularly those with visual aura and occipital lesions. For this reason, we affirm that PFO represents a cardinal point in the differential diagnosis of suspected demyelinating disease.
