Eli E Miller1, Brian M Grosberg2, Sara C Crystal3 and Matthew S Robbins2 Abstract Objective: The objective of this review is to describe auditory hallucinations (paracusias) associated with migraine attacks to yield insights into their clinical significance and pathogenesis. Background: Isolated observations have documented rare associations of migraine with auditory hallucinations. Unlike visual, somatosensory, language, motor, and brainstem symptoms, paracusias with acute headache attacks are not a recognized aura symptom by the International Headache Society, and no systematic review has addressed this association. Methods: We retrospectively studied patients experiencing paracusias associated with migraine at our center and in the literature. Results: We encountered 12 patients (our center ¼ 5, literature ¼ 7), 58% were female, and 75% had typical migraine aura. Hallucinations most commonly featured voices (58%), 75% experienced them during headache, and the duration was most often
