Migraine⁃related vertigo (MRV) is a common neurological disorder, including vestibular migraine (VM) and benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV), however its pathogenesis is unclear. In this study, we discuss that vestibular dysfunction may be caused by the repeated activation of the trigeminal neurovascular system involved in the mechanism of migraine attack, and possible mechanisms by which vestibular migraines differ in the sequential order of headache and vertigo. Finally, we review the progress of its treatment to provide new insight for clinical prevention and treatment.
