Popis: Symptoms of migraine can be very atypical during childhood and adolescence. This article describes a case in which the symptoms of migraine were mainly psychiatric: dreamy state, intermittent confusion, partial amnesia, and childlike regressive behavior with depressive features. Although the results from neurological examinations and electroencephalo-graphic recordings were normal when the individual was symptomatic or not, temporal lobe dysfunction, determined by 99m Tc-hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxamine single-photon emission computed tomography, was evident during the migraine.
