   Basilar artery migraine is a distinctive form of migraine
   characterized by neurologic signs referable to
   the brain stem, cerebellum, and occipital cortex, areas
   supplied by the basilar artery and its branches. This
   type of migraine was described initially in adolescent
   girls (1). The onset of each attack is sudden and the
   episode usually includes visual manifestations, vertigo,
   gait ataxia, dysarthria, tinnitus, and impairment
   of consciousness in varying combinations (2). Ischemic
   cerebral infarction that occurs during a migraine
   attack is rare and the mechanism is uncertain (3, 4).
   Ischemic strokes attributed to migraine most commonly
   occur within the territory of the middle cerebral
   artery (5). Strokes involving the basilar artery
   territory during migraine are infrequently reported
   (6–8). We describe a patient who had two episodes of
   basilar artery migraine in which transient CT, MR,
   and EEG changes were seen after each attack.
