Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

 

Do you mean Hemiplegic Migraine? This is a rare form of Migraine disease that may be hard to diagnose because its symptoms can mimic other vascular conditions, epilepsy, and stroke. It is the only type of Migraine with true motor weakness as one of its sypmtoms.  You may want to read this article for more indepth information: Hemiplegic Migraine - The Basics.
