<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the potential association between valvular strands and migraine with aura.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>During a 1-year period,transesophageal echocardiography was performed in 51 consecutive patients with migraine with aura and 75 control subjects who underwent transesophageal echocardiography for other purposes and had no history of migraine. The presence of aortic and mitral valve strands was evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of valvular strands was 21.5% (11/51) in migraine patients and 28.0% (21/75) in control subjects (Χ²=0.663, P=0.416). The incidence of patent foramen ovale was significantly higher in patients with migraine with aura than in control subjects (50.9% vs.29.3%) (Χ²=6.302, P=0.012). The incidence of aortic valve strands was significantly higher than that of mitral valve strands in migraine patients (Χ²=4.320,P=0.038).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Valvular strands are not associated with migraine with aura and show little clinical significance.</p>
