Abstract
Background Epilepsy and migraine are chronic neurological disorders with episodic manifestations that are commonly treated in neurological practice and frequently occur together [1]. These two disorders share several pathophysiological mechanisms. These mechanisms especially involve neurotransmitter and ion channel dysfunctions [2]. Children with epilepsy or headache are at risk of behavioural disorders that can affect their quality of life. Aim of this study was to analyze the possible correlation between externalizing problems and migraine or epilepsy in children.
