Vestibular Migraine: Clinical Aspects and Pathophysiology.

VM is a common yet debilitating migraine variant that has taken many monikers in the past. As a relatively new diagnostic entity, public and provider awareness of this disorder can be improved. Symptoms include vertigo episodes in addition to photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and headache. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical history as pathognomonic signs via testing are not reliable. Standardized treatment algorithms have yet to be created and current recommendations have been adopted from migraine guidelines.
