Abstract

Abstract : Program Description: Over the last several years migraine has become an increasingly common diagnosis in otolaryngology. Despite the increasing frequency of this diagnosis, little is understood about how the pathophysiology of migraine impacts a range of otolaryngologic diagnoses. Nevertheless specialists in our field are increasingly being called on to diagnose and treat migraines. In this miniseminar we will discuss the role of migraines in hearing and balance disorders and examine the critical criteria that are helpful in distinguishing this disorder from other otologic diagnoses. We will examine the newest diagnostic and treatment modalities and how to apply these in common practice. Educational Objectives: 1) Diagnose classical migraine associated dizziness. 2) Implement current treatment modalities for migraine, including medicines, therapy, and Botox treatment. 3) Discuss the evidence to support a continuum between migraines and Ménière'sdisease.
