Abstract

Over the last two decades a number of studies have stressed the association of migraine with vestibular and ocular motor disorders. Migraine may be a most common cause of various forms of episodic vertigo. The interrelations of migraine and dizziness can be classified into seven categories: ① vertigo as an aura of migraine-basilar type migraine, ② episodic vertigo attack without typical temporal relationship to migraine headache-migraine equivalent, ③ Vertigo/dizziness during migraine attack, ④ susceptibility of motion sickness in migraine patients, ⑤ CACNA1A gene mutation and migraine-familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type 2, ⑥ well defined vertigo syndromes that are not caused by migraine but show a statistical association with migraine-Meniere's disease, BPPV, ⑦ non-vestibular dizziness in mi- graine patients-psychiatric comorbidity, antimigraine medication. Each part of categories will be discussed. Korean Journal of Headache 5(1):33-42, 2004
