Abstract: The concepts and diagnostic criteria such as "migralepsy" and "ictal epileptic headache" have been proposed by International Headache Society in succession, and have been widely used in clinical practice. However, the authors believe that these diagnostic criteria are worth discussing. Headache can be a symptom of epileptic seizures, or be a state after seizures. Migraine and epilepsy can be comorbid, while migralepsy may be a form of focal epilepsy essentially from the professional perspectives of epilepsy. All medical points of views and thoughts need to be focused, so the sub-professional groups of epilepsy and headache should strengthen the dialogue and consultation, in order to formulate the diagnostic criteria of epilepsy and migraine scientifically.
