two choices... not three!!!
Explanation:
Well, you have no other context but I hope that you know at least if the patient has suffered stroke, or, heart attack, or, spine problems...

Indeed, migraine can be associated with three different kind of 'slivellamento':
if it refers to an ECG result, it is
'ST-elevation'
http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/8525697700573E...
if it refers to the test for the damages due to a stroke, it is
'drift' (point 5 of the NIH stroke test)
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/doctors/NIH_Stroke_Scale.pdf.

Actually, it does exist a 3rd possibility but in that case it would be very weird that your document contains only 'slivellamento'.
Is the case in which there is a '(vertebral disks) displacement'.
