A migraine occurs when the blood vessels in the brain expand.The final common pathway involves dilation or swelling accompanied by inflammation of small arteries in the coverings of the brain.
Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it starts to die.

nothing in common except for being in the brain, strokes are permanant damage to the brain, migraine is a treatable and temporary phenomenon, good luck

I get migranes and I believe I read somewhere that people who get them are somewhat more likely to have strokes later in life. I am sorry I can't document where I read that.

the pain leading up to a stroke would probably feel like a bad headache, but every headache is not necessarily a sign of a stroke..
