Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a relatively common neurological disorder observed in patients after brain injury. Patients fail to attend to the contralesional side of space (1). Although USN is well documented in adults, it has been rarely reported in children (2-10). We present a child showing USN during an attack of hemiplegic migraine, without structural brain injury. The present report is the first in which USN during migraine is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
