The puzzling title ‘‘stroke and migraine: a cardiologists’ headache’’conjures up a potential common cause: a cardiac right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). In the 16th century the Italian surgeon Botallo first described the PFO and in 1877 the suspicion of a PFO mediated stroke was published by the German pathologist Cohnheim. Since then the prevalence of PFO in adults has been established by autopsy studies (20–35%), 1 2 transthoracic echocardiography (7–24%), 3 4 or by the more sensitive transoesophageal echocardiography (20–40%). 5–7 The first major clinical paper associating PFO and stroke appeared in 19883 and the first reporting percutaneous closure in 1992. 8
