Abstract :Vestibular migraine is a variant of migraine with episodic vestibular symptoms. Diagnostic criteria were determined in 2012 and the term vestibular migraine was used. Lifetime prevalence in adults is calculated as 1%. The time between the onset of migraine and the onset of vestibular attacks varies among patients. In many patients, migrainous headaches begin before vestibular attacks. Sometimes vestibular attacks can begin years before migraine headaches occur. Vestibular symptoms and attack durations may vary between patients and in different episodes of the same patient. Today, drugs used in the treatment of migraine are generally used in the treatment of vestibular migraine. However, these drugs can sometimes be ineffective or provide short-term improvement. This situation requires -especially for these patients- a treatment scheme that includes different type of holistic medicine approach. In this case report, a vestibular migraine patient who was resistant to medical migraine treatment and was treated with osteopathic treatment method will be discussed.
