title: Migraine and epilepsy.
abstract: A relationship between epilepsy and migraine has been postulated for over a hundred years, but the nature of this interaction is still debated. This article reviews the physiologic arguments for a relationship between the two disorders. Specific clinical syndromes where epilepsy and migraine seem to be related are also discussed.
