I have just looked up a Dr Shephard from Uni of Washington in St Louis. Neuor-tpthal who probably know ...
Oh, so what is his name? We are from Moberly, MO. So very close.
Yes the report indicates no stroke seen in the brain MRI. Migraine does not affect the blood vessels other than during retinal migraines there may be come constriction but it does not do any damage. There is only one neuroophthalmologist in Columbia and he is at the U of Missouri (My wife and I are from Mexico, Missouri).

Thank you, Dr Hagen. The report said there was no evidence of recent infarction or hemmorghage, which I take to me as no stroke??
Do you know if there is a link between migraine and disease of the retinal blood vessels? Should I perhaps take my films to a neuro-opthalmologist. Do you know of any well-respected ones in Columbia, MO?
Not as a rule. However if you do MRI on migraine sufferers there is an unexpected incidence of silent strokes, espcially if a smoker or on birth control pills.
