| description | Background/Aim. The association between the right-to left shunt (RLS) and
migraine with aura (MA) has been proven so far. The aim of this study was to
determine if the presence of RLS detected as a result of transcranial doppler
(TCD) bubble-test, makes any difference in clinical presentation, aura and
headache in patients with MA. Methods. A single-group descriptive study was
conducted on 153 patients diagnosed with MA. TCD bubble-test was performed on
135 of them. The recorded demographic and clinical features of patients were
analyzed and compared with the results of the TCD bubble test. Results. In
the group of 135 patients, 88 (65.2%) had positive TCD bubble-test. The
difference in the investigated clinical features of patients of the patients
and aura between the patients with and without RLS, was not found.
Conclusion. The results of our study confirm a high prevalence of
right-to-left shunt in patients with MA, but the clinical relevance of this
association was not shown. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.
