It is a type of migraine in which single or multiple cranial nerves, most commonly the cranial nerve III, are involved within 4 days following headache. It is rare and more common in men. There are patients with onset in childhood but cases have rarely been reported beginning in the adulthood. The subject being reported here was considered to deserve to be presented because of attacks of recurrent painless ophthalmoplegic neuropathy were seen in advanced age.
