Is it a headache, an aura, a migraine, a seizure, or perhaps ALL four! | May 11, 2022
If you’ve had a migraine with auras that triggered an epileptic seizure, you might have experienced migraine-induced epilepsy.
Another name for this phenomenon is migralepsy.
Scientists have debated the existence and terminology of this phenomenon for some time.
Currently, the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) acknowledges it as “migraine aura-triggered seizure.”
However, epilepsy authorities do not acknowledge the condition.
For the controversy and its explanation, see the following article. It’s a must! https://epilepsyu.com/what-is-migralepsy/

Leonard, you just made my day. No, you just made my week!
Thank you. Sometimes writing in obscurity is difficult. You don’t know whether it’s good, bad or relevant.
But when I hear what you just said, the reasons come flooding back to me.
