We report a case of familial hemiplegic migraine with prolonged aura where multimodality imaging showed hemispheric cytotoxic edema along with evidence of hypometabolism in the affected hemisphere while there was no evidence of hypoperfusion of the affected hemisphere demonstrating that neuronal depression is a more plausible explanation in its pathogenesis.

Background: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) types 1-3 are associated with protein-altering genetic variants in , and , respectively. These genes have also been linked to epilepsy. Previous studies primarily focused on phenotypes, examining genetic variants in individuals with characteristic FHM symptoms.

A male in his 20s presented with episodic headache and subsequently developed episodic unilateral weakness, dysphasia and encephalopathy. These paroxysmal episodes persisted over time with the development of background cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms. MRI surveillance demonstrated progressive T2 hyperintensity with focal cortical oedema correlating to symptoms observed during clinical episodes.

Familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 results from pathogenic variants in the gene, which encodes for a catalytic subunit of sodium/potassium ATPase. This extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder manifests with a spectrum of symptoms, most commonly pure hemiplegic phenotype, epilepsy, and/or intellectual disability. In this study, we detail the clinical features and genetic analysis of nine patients from a large family spanning four generations, with all carrying a previously unreported likely pathogenic variant, p.
