Abstract

A 26-year old woman developed left homonymous superior quadrantanopia followed by severe pulsating headache with vomiting. Thereafter, she experienced recurrent left hemiparesis and paresthesia with or without headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffusion restriction in the territory of the right posterior cerebral artery and contrast enhancement in the right lingual gyrus adjacent to the diffusion-restricted region. This case suggests an occurrence of cerebral infarction and blood-brain barrier disruption associated with migraine with aura.
