Vasospasm: This episode was characteristic of a transient spasm of a blood vessel which occurred as part of the migraine episode. Usually the vasospasm precedes the headache as an aura, but vasospasm can occur during a more prolonged migraine attack. If you have further concerns, consult a neurologist or headache specialist for advice
