Abstract

We report a case of a 31‐year‐old woman who presented migraine attacks with aura within the 48 hr after transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect with the Amplatzer septal occluder device. The migraine attacks persisted for 3 months, and all examinations performed to rule out a thromboembolic origin of migraine were negative.
