Description Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by transient hemiplegia during the aura phase of a migraine attack. This disease has recently been mapped to chromosome 19 in two families. Prominent gaze-evoked nystagmus has been anecdotally reported in some individuals affected with this disorder. We studied a three generation family with FHM. Nine family members were examined, seven with a history of hemiplegic migraine, and two without.
