Clinical and MRI characteristics of acute migrainous infarction
Neurol 76:1911-1917, Wolf, M.E.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This study supports previous observations that migrainous infarction mostly occurs in the posterior circulation, and in younger women with a history of migraine with aura. Acute ischemic lesions were often multiple and located in district arterial territories. As there were no overlapping ischemic lesions, hemodynamic compromise during the development of migraine is unlikely the cause of infarction. Differentiation between migrainous infarction and prolonged migraine aura is difficult and associated with delayed admission of patients.
