Abstract
In 2 pediatric patients with the clinical picture of basilar artery migraine, transient EEG disturbances were seen. Both children manifested posterior rhythmic .delta. activity in close temporal proximity to their attacks. Resolution of these abnormalities was documented by serial EEG tracings. These EEG findings were consistent with transient dysfunction in the neural structures supplied by the basilar artery and its branches. Pediatric patients in whom there is a clinical picture of basilar artery migraine and who have a family history of migraine and transient EEG changes in the type herein described need not undergo invasive neurodiagnostic study.
