Residual Dizziness after Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Residual Dizziness after Successful Repositioning Maneuver for Idiopathic Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Review

The benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder cause of vertigo. The BPPV may be corrected mechanically by repositioning maneuvers but even after successful maneuvers, some patients report residual dizziness for a certain period afterward. Early recognition and treatment might decrease the incidence of residual dizziness in patients with BPPV, especially in those patie...

Residual Dizziness after Physical Treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. A Review of Recent Literature

After successful physical maneuvers for BPPV, some patient refers a non-positional dizziness lasting several days. In our review we considered epidemiology of the disorder, proposed pathophysiological mechanisms and therapy. The duration of Residual Dizziness (RD) has been evaluated by different authors in a range varying from 2 days to 3 weeks. Among pathophysiological mechanisms, it has been ...

Residual Dizziness after Successful Repositioning Treatment in Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common form of vertigo. Although the repositioning maneuver dramatically improves the vertigo, some patients complain of residual dizziness. We evaluated the incidence and characteristics of persistent dizziness after successful particle repositioning and the clinical factors associated with the residual dizziness. ...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo and has a lifetime prevalence of 2.4% in the general population. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused when calcium carbonate material originating from the macula of the utricle falls into one of the semicircular canals. Due to their density relative to the endolymph, they move in response to grav...
