Magnetic Resonance Angiogram Evidence of Vasospasm in Familial Hemiplegic Migraine

We report a case of familial hemiplegic migraine in an 11-year-old girl who presented with coma and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed reversible vasospasm and evidence of oligemia, bringing new information regarding neurovascular changes in familial hemiplegic migraine. (J Child Ne...
