Do migraines cause lesions or spots on your brain?

  1. Hi nnd9rk,

    Thank you for reaching out to us with that great question. People with long term migraine disease may have white matter lesions found on image studies. Let me share our information with you on this topic; https://migraine.com/?s=white+matter+lesions&submit=Go.

    A few of these lesions have been found on my most recent MRI study, but my doctors have reassured me there is no reason to worry.

    I hope this helps,
