Three patients with migraine following caloric-induced vestibular stimulation.
The co-occurrence of migraine and dizziness is greater than would be expected by chance. We report 3 patients who developed migraine following acute vertigo precipitated during caloric testing. A small proportion of the epidemiological links between migraine and vertigo may be due to vertigo-triggered migraine.
