[Vestibular migraine].

OBJECTIVE

To study the clinical features and the possibility of objectification of vestibular dysfunction in patients with vestibular migraine.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

The study included 46 patients (10 men and 36 women) aged 18 to 50 years, with vestibular migraine and control groups. A targeted collection of complaints was carried out with an assessment of vestibular symptoms; a detailed history; a study of neurological status, with an emphasis on the study of oculomotor reactions, vestibular tests. Functional computer stabilometric tests were used to objectify vestibular dysfunction.

RESULTS

Clinical features, as well as features of stabilometric parameters in patients with vestibular migraine have been identified, which can be used to obtain a quantitative assessment of vestibular dysfunction and objectification of vertigo in this category of patients.

CONCLUSION

A purposeful and complete collection of complaints and anamnesis detailing the features of the symptoms in patients with vestibular migraine helps to identify the clinical polymorphism of the pathology in question and contributes to the correct diagnosis. And the use of functional stabilometric tests contributes to the objectification of vestibular dysfunction in this category of patients, quantifying the distinctive features of the balance system in vestibular migraine.
