Time for more attention to migrainous vertigo?

Time for more attention to migrainous vertigo?

John S. Stahl, MD, PhD; and Robert B. Daroff, MD

“Patients with migraine frequently have vestibular complaints, ranging from frank vertigo to less specific symptoms of dysequilibrium and head motion intolerance. Numerous studies have documented the association of migraine and vestibular symptoms. In this issue of Neurology, Neuhauser et al. rigorously reassess the association in three groups—200 patients with migraine presenting to a headache clinic, 200 dizzy patients presenting to a neurootology clinic, and a control population of 200 orthopedic inpatients hospitalized for problems unrelated to headache or dizziness.”
