Hemiplegic Migraine is a rare form of migraine where the person experiences many of the usual migraine symptoms, but may also suffer from temporary numbness, weakness or even paralysis on one side of their body! [migraine.ie]

Signs of a hemiplegic migraine attack are similar to what would be presented in a stroke that typically includes sudden severe headache on one side of the brain, weakness of half the body, ataxia and aphasia which can last for hours, days or weeks. [2 [en.wikipedia.org]

The most significant criterion in diagnosing FHM is hemiparesis or weakness of a limb (Thomsen et al. 2002). [preventiongenetics.com]

Physiotherapy can also help with pain management. Lifestyle Modification : Lifestyle can be an important factor in treating or coping with Hemiplegic Migraine. [migraine.ie]

Acute medications used include the normal NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen or Diclofenac (Difene), along with an antiemetic (anti-nausea) medication such as Domperidone or Metoclopromide to ease the nausea, but also to aid in the faster absorption of other medication [migraine.ie]

Other common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and/or extreme sensitivity to light or sound. Age of onset is variable, often occurring within the first or second decade of life, with attack frequency decreasing with age. [preventiongenetics.com]

Visual disturbances may occur in the form of blind spots (scotoma), flashing lights (photopsia), zigzag patterns (fortification spectra), and double vision (diplopia). Dysphasia usually develops in right-sided hemiplegia. [preventiongenetics.com]

When a nerve impulse (electrical) of sufficient strength passes down from one nerve cell towards another, it opens a so-called ‘channel’ which acts like a ‘gate’. [migraine.ie]

Brain SPECT hypoperfusion suggests a more extensive permanent neuronal loss in territories affected by aura. CF may be then a risk factor for hemiplegic migraine and stroke since bouts of coughing can facilitate brain hypoxia, triggering auras. [headachejournal.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

May Published in Annals of neurology 1996 DOI: 10.1002/ana.410390115 Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by transient hemiplegia during the aura phase of a migraine attack. [semanticscholar.org]

Familial hemiplegic migraine is a rare autosomal dominant subtype of migraine with aura in which attacks are associated with hemiparesis. [journals.sagepub.com]

The neurological symptoms of FHM aura commonly include visual disturbance, sensory loss, and/or dysphasia that may last hours to days following the initial migraine. [preventiongenetics.com]

Hemiplegic migraine can be one of the more difficult types of migraine to diagnose as many of the symptoms can mimic stroke, seizures or other conditions. [migraine.ie]

Acetazolamide or standard drugs are often used to treat attacks, though those leading to vasoconstriction should be avoided due to the risk of stroke. [en.wikipedia.org]

Individuals with pathogenic variants in CACNA1A typically present with cerebellar signs such as nystagmus, while patients with defects in ATP1A2 may present with epilepsy (Yabe et al. 2008; Russell and Ducros 2011; Deprez et al. 2008). [preventiongenetics.com]
