Abstract
Vestibular migraine, a recently recognized entity, has transformed the care of the patients with dizziness. It is more common than benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and responds to well-established treatments developed for chronic migraine. Compared to neurologists and primary care physicians, otolaryngologists are less familiar with the treatment of migraine headaches, because it has not been included in their training curriculum. The term vestibular migraine refers to symptoms of dizziness and vertigo that can develop as a result of migraine mechanisms, which may cause dysfunction in the brainstem, at the cortex of the brain, or in the labyrinth itself.
