ABSTRACT
Vestibular migraine (VM) is a syndrome of episodic vertigo in patients with a current or past history of migraine. Various other terms, including migraine-associated vertigo, migraine-associated dizziness, migraine-related vestibulopathy, migrainous vertigo and vertiginous migraine, have all been applied to this patient population. However, Brandt and Strupp1 have suggested the term VM as most appropriate as it emphasises the particular vestibular manifestation of migraine, and helps differentiate this entity from nonvestibular dizziness or motion sickness associated with migraine.
