Headache. 2007 Jun;47(6):852-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1526-4610.2007.00823.x.

Abstract

We report on 2 cases of multiple sclerosis in patients with refractory migraine as one of the initial manifestations of the disease. In both cases, the magnetic resonance image showed lesions in the brainstem that could be implicated in the genesis of such migraine attacks.
