Abstract:Background and Purposes Numerous studies demonstrate a link between cerebrovascular alterations and migraine pathogenesis. We investigated the association between migraine and vertebral artery dominance (VAD), basilar artery (BA) curvature, and elongation. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional MRI study included 74 migraine patients and 74 control subjects aged between 18 and 55 years.
