Abstract

A 22-year-old man experienced a severe migraine on left side of the head with an aura including aphasia and a numbness on the right hand. A migraine with an aura of sensory disturbance on the both hands recurred immediately after cerebral angiography. Further examinations including MRI and angiography did not reveal any evidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Aphasic migraine was diagnosed in this patient. At all attacks, this patient never experienced visual aura which was common in the previous reports of migraine.
