[Asomatognosia as a manifestation of migraine with aura. case report and review].
BACKGROUND
For years the study of migraine with aura was surprised by the versatility of its presentation. Auras are manifested with the gradual development of neurological symptoms ranging from visual impairment to perception disorders. The latter are rare forms of presentation being the reason for this article.


METHODS
the case of a female patient of 53 years diagnosed with migraine with aura which makes an autobiographical account of their crises, with special emphasis on a variant of asomatognosia as manifestation is presented. It then discusses the asomatognosia as a phenomenon belonging to the altered body image and the different concepts related to these clinical forms and a brief overview of the possible anatomical locations of these conditions do.


CONCLUSIONS
Migraine with aura may manifest with varied previous symptoms before the pain. The asomatognosia is an uncommon presentation. A field of interests for research also include an effort to define the specificity and location of the lesion as a method for better understanding of how injuries to very specific areas of the brain affect perception and memory.
