Sometimes the migraine attacks subside some years before the onset of the Menière attacks, sometimes they are replaced by the Menière attacks, and sometimes the two are present together. It was stated that, in the opinion of the writer, the vascular mechanism producing the two syndromes is identical, and the observations on which this opinion was based were discussed. It was also shown that the treatment directed towards...Bibliography1. ATKINSON M: Menière's syndrome and migraine; observations on a common causal relationship, Ann. Int. Med., 1943, xviii, 797.
