PARISO, Gabriela S. et al. Pseudomigraine with pleocytosis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2006, vol.66, n.4, pp.335-337. ISSN 0025-7680.

The syndrome of transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis or pseudomigraine with temporary neurological symptoms and lymphocytic pleocytosis (HaNDL) is a syndrome consisting of recurrent headaches, reversible neurological deficit, lymphocytic pleocytosis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), variable duration over time and spontaneous resolution. Although several etiopathogenic mechanisms have been suggested (vascular, infectous, immunological and calcium channelopthy), its etiology remains unknown. We describe a  28 year old female, with recurrent migraine with pleocytosis, confusional syndrome and transient neurological deficit. The clinical remission was achieved within two months. Although its etiology remains unknown the differential diagnosis is discussed in order to keep in mind this syndrome.
