<strong>RCVS</strong> and Migraine<br />
Is <strong>RCVS</strong> simply a severe migraine attack?<br />
Several differences between migraine and <strong>RCVS</strong>…<br />
- Migraine has vascular and neuronal basis<br />
- Angiogram in migraine invariably normal<br />
- Migraine is a primary headache disorder; while<br />
headache in <strong>RCVS</strong> may be ‘symptomatic’<br />
- Migraine recurs for years, <strong>RCVS</strong> rarely recurs<br />
- Only 25% of pts with <strong>RCVS</strong> have prior migraine<br />
