Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an autosomal dominant neuronal channelopathy [1, 2]. Clinical onset usually occurs during adolescence [3]. Attacks include unilateral weakness associated with other aura symptoms such as sensory, visual, or speech disturbances [1–4]. In some cases permanent cerebellar ataxia also may be present [1–5]. The CACNA 1A gene, located on chromosome 19p 13, encodes the main subunit (o. 1A) of the neuronal P/Q type voltage-gated calcium-ion channel [6]. A mutation of this gene is implicated in about 50% of families with FHM and in all families with cerebellar signs [2, 3]. Here we describe a patient suffering from a severe phenotype of
