SYNOPSIS The case of a young woman whose clinical picture was suggestive of ophthalmoplegic migraine is reported. In light of an unprecedented finding of two CT documented transient hypodense lesions in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the oculomotor paralysis, the prevalent theories about the pathogenesis of ophthalmoplegia in this type of migraine are reviewed.
