“…History of migraine may contribute to the risk of stroke through an unspecified mechanism. Several case-control studies investigated the relationship between migraine and stroke: the odds ratio was 4.3 (1.2-16.3; 95% CI) in women under 45 years of age according to Tzourio et al [19] and 3.7 (1.5-9.0; 95% CI) according to Carolei et al [20]. Besides, odds ratios were higher in patients with a history of migraine with aura than in patients with a history of migraine without aura.…”

The identification of comorbid disorders in migraineurs is important since it may impose therapeutic challenges and limit treatment options. Moreover, the study of comorbidity might lead to improve our knowledge about causes and consequences of migraine. Comorbid neuropathologies in migraine may involve mood disorders (depression, mania, anxiety, panic attacks), epilepsy, essential tremor, stroke, and white matter abnormalities. Particularly, a complex bidirectional relation exists between migraine and stroke, including migraine as a risk factor for cerebral ischemia, migraine caused by cerebral ischemia, migraine as a cause of stroke, migraine mimicking cerebral ischemia, migraine and cerebral ischemia sharing a common cause, and migraine associated with subclinical vascular brain lesions.

“…The combination of MA, smoking and estroprogestinic hormones considerably increased cerebrovascular risk (RR: 34.4; 32.7-36.1). Three other studies failed to confirm an association between stroke risk and migraine [21][22][23]. The evidence from retrospective studies has been confirmed in large, prospective studies: the Physician's Health Study [24], which included more than 22,000 subjects, showed a doubled risk of stroke in migraineurs, while the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey [25], with a population of approximately 12,000 subjects, highlighted a relative risk for migraine sufferers of 2.5.…”

The interest of the medical community has recently focused on the relationship between gender and cardiocerebrovascular risk. In this paper, we will first review gender differences in cardiocerebrovascular disorders, then we will discuss the existing evidence on the links between migraine and stroke and cardiovascular disease in women, and speculate on the possible physiopathological interpretations of this emerging epidemiological link. In the third part of this work, we will address the issue of the effect of sex hormones on vascular risk, and consider the evidence concerning the safety of oral contraceptives and hormone-replacement therapy. Finally, we will outline the main trends of future research and its possible clinical and therapeutic implications

Comorbidity of migraine is important from a number of different perspectives. Co-occurrence of different diseases may complicate diagnosis as a high degree of symptomatic overlap may occur among conditions associated with migraine. Furthermore, comorbidity has also important implications for treatment. The commonest comorbidities of migraine are represented by psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, tremor, stroke, and cardiovascular abnormalities.
