Abstract

Hemiplegic migraine, whose etiology is unclear, is a specific form of migraine with aura including hemiparesis. In this study, it was aimed to present the case of a 39-year-old women, suffering from sporadic hemiplegic migraine. The patient suffered recurrent severe headaches, and existing focal neurological symptoms, including alternant hemiparesis. On the basis of the history, thorough clinical observation and numerous accessory investigations, a diagnosis of sporadic hemiplegic migraine was established. Differential diagnoses of SHM were highlighted.
