The case of a patient with a background of migraine with auras, who suffers an ischemic cerebral migraine infarct at the course of a migraine crisis, is presented. The ictus was manifested like an especial right hemiparesis of the female sex in fertile age. The prognosis is good with low risk of recurrence, with unstable disorders and dysarthria. The laboratories studies were normal and the cerebral infarct was detected in the magnetic resonance, at the half left cerebral artery’s territory. The patient had favorable evolution without sequel.

Keywords : migraine disorders; migraine with aura; risk factors; cerebral infarction; infarction middle cerebral artery; case reports.
