Seizures with prolonged EEG abnormalities during an attack of migraine without aura

Headache. 2007 Jun;47(6):919-22. doi: 10.1111/j.1526-4610.2007.00829.x.

Abstract

The term "migralepsy" indicates a particular condition in which seizures occur during a migraine attack. Several cases of seizures associated with migraine with aura and characterized by transient MRI abnormalities have been published. We report the case of a patient who presented 2 generalized seizures during an attack of migraine without aura and with a transient, diffuse, irregular, high voltage slow activity without clear epileptiform abnormalities in subsequent EEG recordings.
