Hemiplegic migraine (HM) is a rare subtype of migraine with aura headache, it has two variants: familial (FHM) and sporadic (SHM). It presents with migraine attacks associated with some degree of transient hemiparesia, dysphasic speech or sensitive or sensorial symptoms. We describe a 9 years old girl, healthy, without familial history of HM, with 3 years evolution of migraine headaches that fulfill the International Headache Society`s criteria for SHM.
