Introduction: Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders. It has been classified into migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) by defining two separate diagnostic criteria. This classification has been subject to many debates over the years about whether MO and MA are subtypes of the same disorder or should be considered as two separate entities. This study has reviewed the different mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of the MO and MA. Conclusion: Several studies have shown that the mechanisms involved in the two forms of migraine (MO and MA) differ from each other. Exclusion of mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of these diseases may help to invent the more effective treatment. |
