Hemiplegic migraine is a type of migraine headache characterized by motor weakness affecting only one side of the body, accompanied by aura. There is often an impairment in vision, speech, or sensation. It can run in the family, called familial hemiplegic migraine, or in a single individual, called sporadic hemiplegic migraine. The symptoms can be similar to a stroke, and may be precipitated by minor head trauma. People with FHM are advised to avoid activities that may trigger their attacks.
