Abstract

Vestibular migraine (VM) has only recently been recognized as a distinct disease entity. One reason is that its symptoms overlap greatly with those of other vestibular disorders, especially Meniere disease (MD). The pathophysiology of neither VM nor MD is entirely elucidated. However, there are many theories linking migraine to both disorders. We reviewed the current understanding of migraine, VM, and MD and described how VM and MD are similar or different from each other in terms of pathophysiology and presentation, including hypotheses that the two share a common etiology and/or are variants of the same disease.

Intrarater and interrater agreement and reliability of vestibular evoked myogenic potential triggered by galvanic vestibular stimulation (galvanic-VEMP) for HTLV-1 associated myelopathy testing.

Caporali JFM, Labanca L, Florentino KR, Souza BO, Utsch Gonçalves D.   Background: The vestibular evoked myogenic potential triggered by galvanic vestibular stimulation (galvanic-VEMP) has been used to assess the function of the vestibulospinal motor tract and is a candidate biomarker to predict and monitor the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) associated myelopathy […]
