Auditory hallucinations associated with migraine

David Rubin et al. Headache. 2002 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

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.
