Summary:A 29‐year‐old woman previously diagnosed with both migraine with aura and epilepsy visited our hospital complaining of unusual headaches. The prodromal symptoms changed from typical scintillating scotoma to short‐lasting moving lights against deja‐vu scenery. Then, loss of consciousness and urinary incontinence after headaches, and even generalized convulsion began to occur. Lomerizine hydrochloride decreased her headache attacks, urinary incontinence, loss of consciousness, and seizure. We considered her headache changed from migraine with typical aura to post‐ictal headache. Lomerizine hydrochloride may have alleviated epilepsy in addition to migraine.
