BACKGROUND It is well-known that ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) predominantly reflect utricular function whilst cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) reflect saccular function. To date, there are no published reports on the systemic evaluation of utricular and saccular function in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), nor are there any reports on ...

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is thought to be the main cause of vertigo globally. It recurrent and remediable disease accounts under peripheral vestibular disorder which involve one or more then on semicircular canal with floating displaced otoconia. Activated afferents canals produce false sensation nystagmus. characterized by scanty spinning sensations initiated head movements, common...

Vestibular symptoms to sound should arise suspicion for semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) syndrome, especially when Tullio phenomenon or Hennebert’s sign are present. But diverse clinical presentation makes this diagnosis not straightforward. Repeating episodes of positional vertigo in a patient with posterior semicircular canal dehiscence is herein presented case. Inconsistent history of pat...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a very common vestibular disorder, characterized by episodic vertigo following certain provocative head movements. It is considered to be the most frequent type of peripheral vertigo, although estimates regarding its frequency among patients with this type of symptoms vary between 5 and 40%.1,2 Since the histopathologic studies of Schuknecht and Ru...

Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis depending on the diseases. However, to date, there has been a limited amount of research conducted on the differences in subjective symptoms, handicap in daily life, and depressiveness of patients with each of these disorders, which cannot be measured by a vestibular function test. In this study, functional, emotional, and physical disorders were compa...

BACKGROUND More than 50% of the patients with peripheral vestibular disorders are suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Diagnosis is established by positive Dix-Halpike test and/or roll test. Objective of this study was to analyse the delay in diagnosis and treatment of BPPV in current practice and to suggest measures to avoid this delay. METHODS One hundred and fifty tw...
