Aura is commonly visual disturbance, but auditory hallucinations are very rare. However, auditory hallucinations are among diagnostic criteria for paranoid schizophrenia, a psychiatric disorder. Presented case is a rare example of migraine mimicking as paranoid schizophrenia. This case emphasises the occurrence of auditory hallucinations during a migraine attack, the role of surrounding circumstances and cultural beliefs in the shaping of thinking of an individual, along with the importance of thorough evaluation before diagnosing someone with a mental disorder. Management followed as for a case of a usual migraine headache with good recovery.
