Migraine Is Associated With Magnetic Resonance Imaging White Matter Abnormalities
Arch Neurol 61:1366-1368, Swartz,R.H.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This meta-analysis demonstrates that subjects with migraine are at higher risk of having WMAs on magnetic resonance images than those without migraine. This increased risk is present even in younger individuals who do not have co-occurring cerebrovascular disease risk factors. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether the increased risk of stroke in migraine is mediated or foreshadowed by the presence of WMAs.
