Coincidence of familial hemiplegic migraine and hemicrania continua? A case report.
A case is presented of a 39-year-old woman with a history of simultaneous Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) and hemicrania continua (HC). The family history of the patient revealed different types of migraine and cyclic syndromes in childhood in four generations. The possible links between FHM and HC are discussed. The pedigree gives further evidence that cyclic syndromes in childhood belong to the spectrum of migraine.
