Abstract
A 37-year-old female migraine patient is described, who suffered from episodes with pure lexical agraphia as the only symptom of migraine au ra. The MRI showed multiple subcortical white matter lesions. Central inflammatory and demyelinating disorders were excluded. This case sugg ests that, during a migraine aura,even very circumscribed brain areas involved in complex neuro-psychological processing can be affected.
