Özet
Objective: We aimed to provide additional information in order to prevent the misdiagnosis and malpractice in the emergency department by examining the detailed characteristics of migraines associated with dizziness. Material and Methods: This is a prospective and cross-sectional study. A hundred consecutive patients applied with the complaints of both headache and dizziness to emergency department within 6 months were examined. The patients were referred to neurology polyclinic after the treatment in emergency department. For each patient, a form containing questions about the specific symptom, the history and the clinic characteristics was full-filled. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether there is aura or not, and migraine in the family or not; than the differences were examined. Results: Eighty-seven of our patients (87%) were female. Forty-one patients (41%) described aura. Of headache,66% were unilateral and 32% were bilateral. Of the patients,83% experienced nausea, 48% experienced vomiting and 92% described photophobia and phonophobia. The duration of headache of the migraine patients having a family history of migraine was significantly shorter than others. The monthly migraine frequency was significantly higher in patients having a family history of migraine than the others. Conclusion: Among the patients having a headache and vertigo who applied to emergency department, migraine associated with vertigo should be considered in the young ladies whose headache is unilateral and who describes photophobia and phonophobia.
