Even though symptoms are important in the diagnosis of hemiplegic migraine, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐positive benign unilateral cortical encephalitis shows unique progress and findings on magnetic resonance imaging. We encountered a case of hemiplegic migraine showing cortical hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging, and positive results for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody. A certain proportion of patients diagnosed with hemiplegic migraine appear to show myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐positive benign unilateral cortical encephalitis.
