Is migraine a life-threatening condition?

Migraine has traditionally been thought of as a painful ailment that degrades one's quality of life but isn't hazardous. However, several case-control and cohort studies have found that migraine sufferers, especially those with aura (a brief visual disturbance that foreshadows the onset of a headache), had a greater risk of ischemic stroke but not hemorrhagic stroke.
