The pathological spectrum behind migraine aura status: a case series
ConclusionsIn front of a patient with a MAS, an organic lesion of the brain must be suspected, until a complete negative vascular and neuroradiological diagnostic workup has been performed. A spectrum of underlying pathologies (vascular or demyelinating diseases, epileptic or degenerative conditions) may cause a MAS-like clinical onset. The variability of aura symptoms may result in a real diagnostic challenge.
