All of the patients suspected to MIS had brain MRI with a 0.5 Tesla generation, Philips NT Intra, Netherland. All of the MIS patients underwent a standard battery of diagnostic investigations for detecting etiology of stroke. Disability of MIS patients was detected based on the modified Rankin scale at 90 days post stroke.    RESULTS: 32 MIS patients (18 females, 14 males) with mean age 37.2 ± 3.8 years ranged 15-58 years were evaluated. Hypodense area of infarction corresponding to clinical manifestations was detected in MRI in 32% of our MIS patients. The mean disability score in our MIS patients was 1.09 ± 0.32, which is significantly lower than other stroke patients (z = 2.55, P = 0.007)     CONCLUSION: MIS is an important cause of stroke in Persian young adults which have good prognosis.       Keywords: Migraine, Stroke, Migraine Induced Stroke UR - https://arya.mui.ac.ir/article_10206.html L1 - https://arya.mui.ac.ir/article_10206_4af512910e7ba6dbf25a16173f58a464.pdf ER -
