Background: Meniere’s disease (MD) is a chronic illness defined as an idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a balance disorder and can be the sequel of diverse inner ear impairments. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of BPPV in MD patients. Materials and Methods: All patients with definite or prob...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder with an incidence between 10.7 and 17.3 per 100,000 persons per year. The mechanism for BPPV has been postulated to involve displaced otoconia resulting in canalithiasis. Although particulate matter has been observed in the endolymph of affected patients undergoing posterior canal occlusion ...

Abstract Introduction Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by brief but violent attacks of provoked certain positions the head. This study aimed to compare outcomes Epley and Semont maneuvers for relief in posterior semicircular canal BPPV. Materials Methods was a prospective comparative conducted tertiary referral hospital over 1 year. Among 70 cases BPPV, 35 were treat...

We lately reported the cases of patients complaining positional vertigo whose nystagmic pattern was that of a peripheral torsional vertical positional down beating nystagmus originating from a lithiasis of the non-ampullary arm of the posterior semicircular canal (PSC). We considered this particular pathological picture the apogeotropic variant of PSC benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)...

BACKGROUND The probable cause of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a degeneration of the oto lithic organs (utricle and saccule). The aim of the study is to find possible alterations in Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) recordings in BPPV patients, because the saccule is part of the VEMP pathway. MATERIAL/METHODS 27 BPPV patients (24 unilateral and 3 bilateral) aged 20...

PURPOSE Osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) is an often-used technique of great utility in certain implant patients with resorbed posterior maxilla. Recently benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has been reported as an early postoperative complication following OSFE. Although OSFE-induced BPPV commonly resolves itself within a month without treatment, this complication can be a cause ...

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo and nystagmus in clinics. Vertigo has many causes and the recurrence of vertigo is unknown. Among a lot of factors, vitamin D deficiency is more important. This study was conducted to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on torsional nystagmus in BPPV patients. This study wants to show the d...

Aim: Our study aims to investigate the factors affecting recurrence of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (P-BPPV).
 Material and Method: Fifty-four patients diagnosed with P-BPPV were included in study. Demographic characteristics patients, smoking, alcohol use, side, comorbid diseases, menopausal status, previous head trauma history, body mass index (BMI) biochemical pa...
