Migraine and Stroke in Young Women:Case-Control Study
BMJ 318:13-18, Chang,C.L.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Migraine in women of childbearing age significantly increases the risk of ischaemic but not haemorrhagic stroke. The coexistence of oral contraceptive use, high blood pressure, or smoking seems to exert a greater than multiplicative effect on the risk of ischaemic stroke associated with migraine.
