Research Summary
A recent case study published in Cureus highlights the critical role of neuroimaging in diagnosing serious conditions like arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in patients with persistent migraine symptoms. A woman in her 50s, experiencing a chronic migraine-type headache unresponsive to treatment, underwent a full neurological assessment that appeared normal. However, neuroimaging revealed a complex AVM in her brain, which was successfully treated with radiosurgery after referral to a specialized neurosurgery unit. This case underscores the importance of early imaging and specialist referrals in managing refractory migraines, illustrating how collaborative care can lead to effective treatment and symptom resolution.
