What is cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy?
CADASIL is characterized by a series of strokes, which is thought to be triggered by genetically determined deficiencies of small cerebral arteries.
Is cadasil dominant or recessive?
CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Sub-Cortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) is a rare genetic, degenerative neurological syndrome that causes migraines, strokes and dementia.If you have CADASIL, come join us at Facebook CADASIL Support!

Can Imitrex cause a stroke?
Yes. Research has shown that patients with migraine with aura are at increased risk of stroke. This risk is highest during instances of status migrainosus (migraines that last longer than 72 hours) or migraines with prolonged aura (aura that lasts longer than one to two hours). Inflammation in the blood vessels in the head and neck can temporarity decrease blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke, or a stroke like event. Migraines with aura also caused an increased risk of white matter lesions on the brain. It is not known if these lesions actually cause changes in cognitive function. In addition, there is a rare hereditary disease called CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy). Migraine with aura is one of its main initial symptoms. This is a degenerative disease with no cure, that causes repeated strokes and dementia.
