Sažetak
Vestibular migraine is one of the causes of spontaneous vertigo. Around 50 to 60 percent of migraine patients experience vertigo following a migraine attack, and in about half of the patients vertigo occurs unrelated to the headache. It is clinically manifested as a rotatory, positioning, visually-or head movement- related vertigo. In more than 60% of cases, photo-or phonophobia occurs. Changes in electronystamography/videonystamography results are more common in patients with migraine than in the rest of the population, but very different and unspecific. Although accepted, the lack of universally acclaimed definition of vestibular migraine prevented clinicians and researchers to recognize it more often. In July 2012, the Bárány Society’s Committee for Classification of Vestibular Disorders and Subcommittee for the Classifications of Migraine of the International Society for Headaches have co-published diagnostic criteria for vestibular migraine and probable vestibular migraine as part of the project in the classification of otoneurologic disorder. Diagnosis of vestibular migraine is based on the presence of different forms of vertigo with moderate or severe intensity, which occur often and last between 5 minutes and 72 hours, as well as on the history of migraine and exclusion of other causes of vestibular symptoms. For the first time, we are in possession of proposed criteria for the diagnosis of vestibular migraine, which will facilitate the diagnosis of this common but insufficiently diagnosed vertiginous entity.
