Abstract:
An uncommon presentation of a migraine headache is hemiplegic migraine, which can clinically imitate other conditions including transient ischemic attacks and stroke with unilateral muscle weakness or hemiplegia. We present a 46-year-old female patient who was admitted with symptoms of a unilateral occipital headache, dysphagia and left-sided motor weakness. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brain tomography results were normal. A diagnosis of sporadic hemiplegic migraine was made after extensive workup and managed conservatively with solumedrol. The patient was discharged on prednisone and tetrahydrozoline ophthalmic solution with a drastic improvement in symptoms. On a follow-up visit, there was a complete resolution of symptoms.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Equilibrium and Balance
Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Cranial and Spinal Meninges
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...
