Abstract
The few available studies of biopsies performed during migraine surgery have revealed intravascular changes of the occipital and superficial temporal arteries. It is not clear whether these abnormalities are purely of local origin or of systemic nature. This letter discusses possible associations between extracranial vascular alterations and vasodilatory neural entrapment. Exploration of spatial differences in vascular morphology of the involved arteries could provide further insights.
期刊介绍:
JPRAS An International Journal of Surgical Reconstruction is one of the world''s leading international journals, covering all the reconstructive and aesthetic aspects of plastic surgery.
The journal presents the latest surgical procedures with audit and outcome studies of new and established techniques in plastic surgery including: cleft lip and palate and other heads and neck surgery, hand surgery, lower limb trauma, burns, skin cancer, breast surgery and aesthetic surgery.
