Presence of Spontaneous Nystagmus, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, and Tumarkin Fall in Patients With Primary Headache and Their Responses to Caloric and Video Head Impulse Tests

CONCLUSIONS: In VM patients, the prevalences of decompensated peripheral damage and BPPV were higher than in migraine and TTH patients as disclosed by the presence of peripheral spontaneous nystagmus and abnormal vHIT during the interictal period. Our findings suggest that the peripheral vestibular system acts as a significant mechanism in the pathogenesis of VM, and it might also be involved in migraine and TTH cases without vertigo symptoms.PMID:38550548 | PMC:PMC10970037 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr5088
