Differentiating vestibular migraine from Meniere's disease: an analysis of clinical features, videonystagmography, and caloric testing
While clinical symptom profiles effectively distinguish VM from MD, interictal nystagmus analysis has limited diagnostic value. The caloric test is a reliable and practical tool, as the presence of significant canal paresis strongly indicates MD over VM. Combining symptom evaluation with caloric testing offers a cost-effective strategy for the differential diagnosis of these common vestibular disorders.
