This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: needs to be updated with more recent literature, characterization of disease is outdated; vestibular migraine is now recognized as a distinct migraine phenotype. (July 2023) |
Vestibular migraine (VM) is vertigo with migraine, either as a symptom of migraine or as a related neurological disorder.
A 2010 report from the University of British Columbia published in the journal Headache said that "'Migraine associated vertigo' is emerging as a popular diagnosis for patients with recurrent vertigo" but, "in contrast to basilar artery migraine, is neither clinically nor biologically plausible as a migraine variant."[1] Epidemiological studies indicate a strong link between vertigo and migraine.[2]
