title: [Hemicrania-epilepsy syndrome: clinical contribution and pathogenetic interpretation].
abstract: 6 patients suffering from migraine and consciousness disturbances occurring together in a significant chronologic association were selected retrospectively. Clinical, radiologic and electroencephalographic data are reported; the hypothesis of a common pathogenesis of the two syndromes is discussed by means of the "neural" theory of migraine and the results of cerebral blood flow studies in migrainous subjects. In addition, the therapeutic effectiveness of the pharmacologic association between calcium-antagonists and antiepileptic drugs in some patients is remarked.
