Abstract
Background Migraine, epilepsy and tics are common neurological disorders in children and adolescents. They can affect a patient’s life in a number of ways such as their school, sport and relationships. Although they are clearly different conditions, several studies have stressed the co-occurrence of migraine with both epilepsy and tic disorders. However, no study has compared the psychological/behavioural profile of children/adolescents with migraine, RAP or tics. The main aim of the present study was to compare the occurrence of internalizing and externalizing disorders between migraine, epilepsy and tics patients.

Migraine, epilepsy and tics are common neurological disorders in children and adolescents
We studied 32 migraine patients (m.a. 11.8 years; s.d 2.6; F: 19; M: 13), 25 epilepsy-normal IQ outcome (m.a. 15 years; s.d 2.6; F: 15; M: 10) and 29 tics (m.a. 8.8 years; s.d 2.6; F: 8; M: 21)
The psychological profile was evaluated by the Child Behaviour Checklist 6-18 (CBCL)
