Evaluation of cervical vestibular miogenic evoked potential and electrococleography in the diagnosis of vestibular migraine.

Objectives: Vestibular migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by the association of vertigo and headache, affecting up to 1% of the population. Among its differential diagnoses is endolymphatic hydrops. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential and electrocochleography in the diagnosis of vestibular migraine.
