[Abstract] Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital structural variation of the heart. In recent years, an increasing number of researchers have paid attention to the close relationship between PFO and migraine. MRI has been widely used in neuroscience. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) can be used to investigate the anatomy and structure of the brain and further explore the brain structural changes in patients with migraine secondary to PFO. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) offers noninvasive brain functional activity measurement, which provides a possibility to explore the changes of brain function in patients with PFO and migraine. This article reviews the research progress of the correlation between PFO and migraine, the pathophysiological mechanism of migraine caused by PFO, and the application of MRI in migraine secondary to PFO, hoping to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and provide relevant references for follow-up research.
