title: Sporadic hemiplegic migraine.
abstract: We report a 4-year old boy with probable sporadic hemiplegic migraine. The present case did not fulfill the International Classification of Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria for the disease completely, as it is unclear whether the child had any headache or not. The differential diagnoses are discussed. The case is reported for its rarity and to increase awareness.
