In a patient with no prior history of migraine but a history of stroke, is it common (or even at all heard of) for the patient to develop complicated migraine with focal findings mirroring those of the initial stroke presentation?
I have a patient with a right MCA stroke a couple of years ago who presented with exacerbation of the exact same neuro deficits as he experienced with the stroke but no new focal deficits. He did have a severe headache accompanied by photophobia. CT head negative for hemorrhage, no meningismus, leukocytosis, or fever. Any thoughts?
