This association persisted after we controlled for age, history of hypertension, use of oral contraceptives, and smoking.Women with migraine had a more than threefold increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with women without migraine. This increase occurred with both types of migraine, although the risk was higher with migraine with aura (odds ratio 6-2) than with migraine without aura. \u0000Conclusion: In conclusion, the risk of ischemic stroke was higher among young women with migraine who smoked or who took oral contraceptives. \u0000Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, July 2022;8(2):193-197","PeriodicalId":16732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86795536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only those patients showing a periapical lesion of minimum 5 mm size was included in the study subject. Intra-oral periapical radiograph showing criteria was presence of apical radiolucency of 5 mm, corticated borders and displacements of roots. The CBCT images were done for those patients. The following features were documented on CBCT like location at the apex of involved tooth, well defined corticated border, shape is curved or circular, internal structure of lesion is radiolucent, displacement and resorption of the roots of adjacent teeth with a curved outline and perforation of cortical plate. Histopathological specimens were obtained for microscopic examination.
