Vestibular Migraine
Vestibular Migraine
Migraine is more common in patients with Ménière's disease than in healthy controls. Patients with features of both Ménière's disease and vestibular migraine have been repeatedly reported. In fact, migraine and Ménière's disease can be inherited as a symptom cluster. Fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural pressure may occur in vestibular migraine, but hearing loss does not progress to profound levels. Similarly, migraine headaches, photophobia, and even migraine auras are common during Ménière attacks. The pathophysiological relationship between vestibular migraine and Ménière's disease remains uncertain. In the first few years after onset of symptoms, differentiation of vestibular migraine from Ménière's disease may be challenging, as Ménière's disease can be monosymptomatic with vestibular symptoms only in the early stages of the disease.
