Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
Migraine with aura (MwA) in the emergency setting is common and sometimes difficult to distinguish from mimicking conditions. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), a magnet resonance (MR) technique is sensitive to deoxygenated hemoglobin in cerebral veins and depicts these according to their level of oxygenation. Our study aimed at evaluating the frequency of regions of prominent focal veins (PFV) on SWI in the acute phase.
Methods
Between 2011 and 2018 we evaluated symptoms and MR imaging of adult patients with acute MwA attacks ( |
