A member asked:
Is a migraine with aura an ischemic episode?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: What I have read recently about migraine physiology is that migraines begin with an abnormal glucose metablolism within the cell, then vascular spasm is initiated after that. Either mechanism can produce cellular dysfunction and aura.
