How vascular and cardiac abnormalities affect headaches in children and young adults
8:40 AM - 9:15 AMPresentation Description
In the presentation, titled "Vascular Abnormalities and their Influence on Headaches in Children and Young Adults," we will delve into the intricate relationship between migraine and stroke, with a special focus on younger demographics. We'll explore how vascular malformations, encompassing arteriovenous malformations (AVM), cavernous malformations, and moyamoya, impact headache presentation in this age group. By shedding light on potential pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview. Furthermore, we will highlight both surgical and medical interventions to manage headaches in individuals with these vascular anomalies, incorporating newer migraine-specific therapies.
