Sometimes arterial occlusion is demonstrated by angiography in migrainous stroke and the cause is hypothesized to be in-situ thrombosis complicating vasospasm. No provoking factors are known. Other possible causes of stroke in the context of headache must be considered carotid dissection, mitochondrial cytopathy, ruptured vascular malformation, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arterio-pathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy). Migraine auras without headache may be confused with TIA (Ch. 8). [Pg.78]

Cerebral ischemic injury is a common cause of dementia in older adults. Combination cases of vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease are also quite frequent. Vascular causes of dementia include subcortical vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, ischemic dementia, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), and leuko-araiosis (see the Cerebrovascular Diseases section earlier in this chapter). ...
