“…We excluded from the study patients with probable VM and subjects who had received ear or eye surgery or other significant comorbidities. The patients belonging to the control group were affected by paroxysmal positional vertigo (15), acute vestibular deficit (8), vascular vertigo (6), Meniere's disease (6), and acoustic neuroma (1). A total of 14 patients showed a normal examination, and the dizziness was attributable to diseases that were not strictly vestibular (such as pharmacological dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and undiagnosed PPPD).…”

“…A precise definition of PH is lacking; the variety of techniques used to assess the pupil movements and the interindividual variation do not allow for validated parameters to consider PH as pathological. PH has been observed in patients suffering from epilepsy [7] or neurotic disorders [8], diabetic autonomic neuropathy [9] and is associated with disorders of the autonomic nervous system [10]. On the other hand, dysautonomia has also been reported to underlie migraine disease [11], and the presence of PH has also been reported in migraineurs [12,13].…”

(1) Background: Hippus (which in this paper will be called “Pupillary nystagmus”) is a well-known phenomenon which has never been related to any specific pathology, so much so that it can be considered physiological even in the normal subject, and is characterized by cycles of dilation and narrowing of the pupil under constant lighting conditions. The aim of this study is to verify the presence of pupillary nystagmus in a series of patients suffering from vestibular migraine. (2) Methods: 30 patients with dizziness suffering from vestibular migraine (VM), diagnosed according to the international criteria, were evaluated for the presence of pupillary nystagmus and compared with the results obtained in a group of 50 patients complaining of dizziness that was not migraine-related. (3) Results: Among the 30 VM patients, only two cases were found to be negative for pupillary nystagmus. Among the 50 non-migraineurs dizzy patients, three had pupillary nystagmus, while the remaining 47 did not. This resulted in a test sensitivity of 0.93% and a specificity of 0.94%. (4) Conclusion: we propose the consideration of the presence of pupillary nystagmus as an objective sign (present in the inter-critical phase) to be associated with the international diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of vestibular migraine.
