Should “migralepsy” be considered an obsolete concept? A multicenter retrospective clinical/EEG study and review of the literature
چکیده انگلیسی

The few reports that have been published on the current International Classification of Headache Disorders, Second Edition (ICHD-II), criteria for migralepsy and hemicrania epileptica have highlighted the considerable confusion regarding this “hot topic” within both headache and epilepsy classifications (ICHD-II and International League Against Epilepsy [ILAE]). Indeed, the ICHD-II describes a migraine-triggered seizure as a rare event in which a seizure occurs during migraine aura; on the other hand, hemicrania epileptica is described as an “ictal headache” that occurs “synchronously” with a partial seizure. To confuse matters even further, neither the term migralepsy nor the term hemicrania epileptica is included in the currently used ILAE classification. On the basis of both a review of “migralepsy” cases in the literature and 16 additional retrospective multicenter cases, we suggest that the term migraine-triggered seizure or migralepsy be deleted from the ICHD-II classification until unequivocal evidence is provided of its existence, and that the term ictal epileptic headache be introduced into the ILAE classification.

Research highlights
► All migralepsy cases from the Literature were reviewed.
► Sixteen new retrospective multicenter migralepsy cases were added.
► Deletion of “migraine-triggered seizure” from classification is proposed.
► Ictal Epileptic Headache should define a headache as sole epileptic manifestation.
