Abstract
Migrainous dizziness is one of the most frequent complaints. Eye movements and brain imaging may explain the dizziness and highlight possible pathophysiological substrates in migraine dizziness. Our aim is to evaluate eye movement using videonystagmography (VNG) and video head impulse test (vHIT) and to study the occipital lobe metabolic profile in migraine with aura patients, thalamic metabolic profile of chronic migraine patients.
There were 2 groups enrolled in the study; the first group consisted of
80 dizzy migraine patients according to the ICHD-3. mean age was 39.06 years (SD 7.43 years). Sixty-nine (86.3%) were females and 11 (13.8%) were males. The second group consisted of 40 age matched healthy subjects. The mean age was 36.95 years (SD 6.65 years). Twenty-seven (67.5%) were females and 13 (32.5%) were males. Both groups underwent the following: A detailed history, VNG test protocol, vHIT in three planes. Only 33 patients with migraine dizziness underwent both the vestibule-occular examination and the imaging evaluation. Patients with chronic migraine had MRS on the thalamic region, Patients with migraine with aura had MRS on the occipital lobe. All data were pooled for results analysis.
