ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION Headache and dizziness are two of the most frequent symptoms that lead patients to visit neurology outpatient services. One of the most interesting associations is the one existing between migraine and vertigo. Different terms have been used in the literature to refer to this clinical picture, but perhaps the one that best defines this relation is that of recurring migraine-associated vertigo, which should be considered an entity in its own right. DEVELOPMENT. Migraine and vertigo are two clinical features that tend to occur together, possibly as a result of their pathophysiology; we must be capable of recognising the type of neuro-otological disorder our patient has in order to be able to aim the diagnostic tests in the right direction and to carry out a satisfactory treatment. CONCLUSION. New diagnostic criteria are proposed for recurring migraine-associated vertigo.
