Abstract
A case of an 11-year-old boy with recurrent migraine auras without hea dache is reported. Aura was preceded by an anisocoria and was characte rized, besides other brain-stem signs, by confusional state. Ictal EEG recordings showed fast activity. Recognition of this finding may prev ent an inappropriate diagnosis of drug ingestion. However, whether non -reactive beta activity is typical for basilar migraine remains to be determined.
