 Yes, migraines can cause lesions in the brain. Sometimes they cannot tell whether lesions are from MS or other causes such as migraine, tiny strokes due to high blood pressure or cholesterol, or what the heck. I believe that normal perivascular spaces can also look like lesions, anyway that's what my neuro told me. If they see lesions in a certain shape/size or in certain places in the brain, they are more recognizable as MS lesions. I have "small scattered" lesions that are "nonspecific," in other words they could be MS--but they could ALSO very well be due to migraine or other causes. I remain undiagnosed after 9 years of (relatively mild) symptoms and have not been followed since 2003. The visual migraine you describe is common--I had three of them over about six months when I hit perimenopause full blast (before then I didn't even know I was a migraineur!). They are not related to MS. Migraine does NOT have to involve a headache--I never got headaches with my visual auras, though my whole family does (mother, sister, one or two of my brothers, and both of my children!). Good luck with everything! Nancy T. |
