Diagnostic challenges in vestibular migraine—clinical differentiation from Menière’s disease and discrepancies with current classification criteria
This study identified seven clinical variables to effectively distinguish VM from MD. While VM and MD share overlapping features, diagnostic ambiguity remains common, particularly in cases not meeting ICVD criteria. Our findings support the introduction of a 'suspected VM' category to capture patients with atypical presentations not covered by ICVD criteria.
