Frequent severe migraine headaches, particularly with prolonged aura, can cause permanent changes in the brain. This includes the thickening of somatosensory cortex, and white matter lesions in the brain. We have no information that white matter lesions cause cognitive deficits.

Rarely, migraines can cause stroke - which by itself can cause permanent damage, death.

No one is sure why, but some Migraineurs eventually have tiny spots that can be seen on an MRI. Not all Migraineurs will end up with these spots however. For best results, see a headache specialist who has had extra training in diagnosing and treating these types of disorders.
