Hello C.,   Yes, there is one kind of seizure associated with Migraine, but I'm not sure your daughter fits the description. Here is is:   Migraine-triggered seizureDescription: A seizure triggered by a migraine aura. Diagnostic criteria:  A. Migraine fulfilling criteria for Migraine with aura  B. A seizure fulfilling diagnostic criteria for one type of epileptic attack occurs during or within 1 hour after a migraine aura   Comment:Migraine and epilepsy are prototypical examples of paroxysmal brain disorders. While migraine-like headaches are quite frequently seen in the postictal period, sometimes a seizure occurs during or following a migraine attack. This phenomenon, sometimes referred to as migralepsy, has been described in patients with migraine with aura.   If you're not getting anywhere with her current doctors, I'd suggest a seizure expert to rule out or confirm a seizure disorder and a Migraine and heaache specialist. Headaches should not last for days; nor should Migraine attacks.   Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special?
