## TL;DR

Migraine patients with a family history of cerebrovascular issues may need regular brain scans and careful birth control evaluation.

## Contribution

Highlights the importance of monitoring basilar artery fenestration in migraine patients with cerebrovascular family history.

## Key findings

- Basilar artery fenestration should be considered in migraine patients.
- Annual MRI/MRA monitoring is recommended for those with cerebrovascular family history.
- Careful assessment of birth control regimens is necessary to mitigate risks.

## Abstract

Basilar artery fenestration should be considered in migraine patients, especially with a cerebrovascular family history, necessitating annual magnetic resonance imaging/angiography (MRI/MRA) monitoring and careful assessment of birth control regimens to mitigate risks.
