SVINT is a newly proposed vestibular test, which demonstrated to be fast and reliable in diagnoses above all of peripheral vestibular deficits. Methods: We retrieved clinical data from two groups of subjects (200 VM and 605 MD), enrolled between 2010 and 2020. Among others, these subjects were included when performing a SVINT. The purpose of the study is to assess if SVINT can be useful to differentiate the two episodic disorders. Results: 59.2% of MD subjects presented as positive with SVINT while only 6% did so with VM; among other tests, only video HIT demonstrated a different frequency in the two groups (13.1% and 0.5%, respectively), but the low sensitivity in these subjects makes the test unaffordable for diagnostic purposes. Conclusions: Since SVINT demonstrated to be positive in a peripheral vestibular deficit in previous works, we think that our data are consistent with the hypothesis that, in the pathophysiology of VM attacks, the central vestibular pathways are mainly involved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres11040054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]],"date-time":"2021-11-08T08:05:16Z","timestamp":1636358716000},"page":"603-608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Skull Vibration-Induced Nystagmus Test (SVINT) in Vestibular Migraine and Meni\u00e8re\u2019s Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2948-4638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Teggi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Division, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Gatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Division, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9763-3183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Familiari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Division, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iacopo","family":"Cangiano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Division, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Bussi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Division, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20132 Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.3233\/VES-2012-0453","article-title":"Vestibular migraine: Diagnostic criteria","volume":"22","author":"Lempert","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
