Abstract

Up to a quarter of Ménière’s disease (MD) patients can present with concomitant vestibular migraine (VM). If one considers MD patients with migrainous features who do not meet VM criteria, over half of MD patients may have migraine playing some role in symptom presentation or etiology. This chapter will focus on this difficult and often treatment-resistant patient category of Ménière’s disease with concomitant vestibular migraine (MDVM).
