Migraine and vertigo: a marriage of convenience?

John Phillips et al. Headache. 2010 Sep.

Abstract

"Migraine associated vertigo" is emerging as a popular diagnosis for patients with recurrent vertigo. However, in view of our current understanding of both migraine and vertigo, "migraine associated vertigo," in contrast to basilar artery migraine, is neither clinically nor biologically plausible as a migraine variant.
