A member asked:

Is it possible for a migraine to cause a seizure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: But there is a relationship with migraine and epilepsy, and i would suppose that if a patient had a lot of vomiting and became dehydrated that this could trigger a seizure in the susceptible individual.
