Vestibular abnormality in patients with Meniere's disease and migrainous vertigo.

Acta Otolaryngol

February 2013

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Konkuk University Hospital, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.

Conclusion: Vestibular abnormality was found in 84% of patients with Meniere's disease (MD) and 66% of those with migrainous vertigo (MV), even in the interictal period. Although MV does not have proven pathology like endolymphatic hydrops of MD, MV had high vestibular abnormality, suggesting that comorbid vestibular abnormality can be a cause of vertigo and needs to be pursued.

Objectives: MD and MV are common disorders causing recurrent vertigo.

Conclusions: Patients with migraine-associated vertigo (MAV) may have a higher incidence of photic-driven electroencephalography (EEG) response. The occurrence of photic-driven responses for stimulation at frequencies of 10, 12, and 15 Hz can be considered a positive indicator for MAV. Although photic driving is not specific to migraine, patients with MAV have a higher incidence of photic driving.

Migraine-associated vertigo: diagnosis and treatment.

Semin Neurol

April 2010

Department of Neurology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Migraine-associated vertigo has become a well-recognized disease entity diagnosed based on a clinical history of recurrent vertigo attacks unexplained by other central or peripheral otologic abnormalities, which occurs in the patient with a history of migraine headaches. There is no international agreement on what spectrum of symptoms should be covered under this diagnosis, or what terminology should be used. The headaches and vestibular symptoms of migraine-associated vertigo may not be temporally associated, which often obscures the association.

The aim of the study was to ascertain the validity of a personal protocol used for the diagnostic classification of a group of 20 patients suffering from migraine without aura and with recurrent vertigo and postural disorders. A series of ten factors (anamnestic and constitutional) considered predictive of migrainous vertigo and four types of response to sensory provocation made it possible to identify two types of patients: type A, simultaneous presence of at least 5 (> or =50%) of the 10 factors considered and at least 2 (> or =50%) of the four established responses; type B, presence of fewer than five factors (< or =50%), or of more than five (> or =50%) but fewer than two (< or =50%) of the responses envisaged by the protocol. All patients underwent migraine prophylaxis for 4 months.

There are many different vertigo classifications and different denominations are frequently used for the same clinical processes. The Otoneurology Committee of the Spanish Society for Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Pathology proposes an eminently practical classification of peripheral vertigo to facilitate a common terminology that can be easily used by the general ENT practitioners. The methodology used has been by consensus within our Society and especially among the most outstanding work groups in the area of otoneurology in Spain.

Recent advances in the genetics of recurrent vertigo and vestibulopathy.

Curr Opin Neurol

February 2008

Department of Neurology, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1769, USA.

Purpose Of Review: To focus on recent advances in the genetics of recurrent vertigo, with an overview on episodic ataxia, benign recurrent vertigo (mainly migraine-associated vertigo), bilateral vestibulopathy, and Ménière's disease.

Recent Findings: Since the identification more than a decade ago of the genetic causes of episodic ataxia type 1 with myokymia caused by KCNA1 mutations and episodic ataxia type 2 with nystagmus caused by CACNA1A mutations, the list of episodic ataxia syndromes with distinct clinical features and genetic loci is slowly expanding, now up to episodic ataxia type 7. There is growing recognition for a correlation between benign recurrent vertigo and migraine, and acceptance for vertigo as a manifestation of migraine; efforts to identify susceptibility loci for migraine and migraine-associated vertigo are underway.
