Auditory hallucinations associated with migraine.
OBJECTIVE: Two children experienced auditory hallucinations during migraine (one with migraine without aura and one with migraine with aura). These hallucinations only occurred during headache.
BACKGROUND: Auditory hallucinations are rarely reported in patients with migraine. These patients often have other psychiatric or neurologic disorders such as affective disorder or epilepsy.
METHODS: Case report and a review of the literature.
RESULTS: No other neuropsychiatric disorder was identified in either patient at presentation or upon follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Auditory hallucinations can rarely occur in patients with migraine. Further study of this association might provide insight to any relationship between migraine, auditory hallucinations, and the temporal lobe.
