Vestibular Migraine
Vestibular Migraine
There is a more than chance association of migraine with several other established vertigo and dizziness syndromes including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, motion sickness, orthostatic hypotension and syncope, panic disorder, and depression. These disorders may be the only cause of vestibular symptoms in a patient with migraine or may coexist with vestibular migraine. Patients with vestibular migraine show the highest rate of concurrent anxiety or depressive disorders as compared with other vertigo syndromes. Because of the frequent association of dizziness, migraine, and anxiety, a new syndrome named migraine-anxiety-related dizziness (MARD) has been proposed.
