This paper presents diagnostic criteria for vestibular migraine, jointly
formulated by the Committee for Classification of Vestibular Disorders of the
Barany Society and the Migraine Classification Subcommittee of the International
Headache Society (IHS). The classification includes vestibular migraine and
probable vestibular migraine. Vestibular migraine will appear in an appendix of
the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders
(ICHD) as a first step for new entities, in accordance with the usual IHS
procedures. Probable vestibular migraine may be included in a later version of
the ICHD, when further evidence has been accumulated. The diagnosis of vestibular
migraine is based on recurrent vestibular symptoms, a history of migraine, a
temporal association between vestibular symptoms and migraine symptoms and
exclusion of other causes of vestibular symptoms. Symptoms that qualify for a
diagnosis of vestibular migraine include various types of vertigo as well as head
motion-induced dizziness with nausea. Symptoms must be of moderate or severe
intensity. Duration of acute episodes is limited to a window of between 5minutes
and 72hours.
