Abstract Background The bucket test is a simple and practical instrument to evaluate vestibular diseases; additionally, it could be useful tool in the evaluation of vertigo patient. Unfortunately, still lacks standardization. objective this study was interpret subjective visual vertical (SVV) using benign paroxysmal positional (BPPV) Ménière’s disease patients. We performed cross-sectional seco...

Existing treatment maneuvers for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV) include the Semont liberatory maneuver (SLM) and canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM). Independent investigations reveal that these maneuvers provide an excellent outcome for most patients. However, certain aspects of these maneuvers, such as hyperextension of the neck for CRM and brisk lateral moti...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder that results in brief periods of vertigo and nystagmus, when the head is tipped relative to gravity. Symptoms are commonly attributed to the pathological presence of heavy calcium carbonate particles within the lumen of the semicircular canal(s)-a condition termed canalithiasis. In the present work, we induced canalithi...

OBJECTIVE To determine if variations in common treatments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) affected efficacy. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, pseudo-randomized study. SETTING Outpatient practice in a tertiary care facility. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients (n = 118) with unilateral BPPV of the posterior canal, including 13 patients with BPPV of the lateral canal, were tested at a te...

BACKGROUND/AIM Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is one of the most frequent peripheral vestibular system disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Epley maneuver in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal (p-BPPV) and to discover possible causes of failure. METHODS This prospective study included 75 patients. In all the c...

I read with interest the article entitled Converting apo-geotropic into geotropic lateral canalolithiasis by head-pitching manoeuvre in the sitting position by Califano et al. 1. The Authors describe their experience in transforming the apogeotropic LSC BPPV (Lateral Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) into a geo-tropic one performing " a quick 60° forward exion and a slow ...

Different balance problems may occur in the same patient simultaneously, and the other problem may be overlooked if the clinician does not pay much attention. Spontaneous nystagmus of Meniere's disease and positional nystagmus of posterior canal BPPV in the same patient is presented. Positional tests must always be considered even in the presence of spontaneous nystagmus.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The need for class I and II studies on the efficacy of liberatory maneuvers in the treatment of lateral canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (LC-BPPV) motivated the present double-blind randomized trial on the short-term efficacy of the Gufoni liberatory maneuver (GLM). STUDY DESIGN Double-blind randomized controlled trial. METHODS Seventy-two patients with unila...

OBJECTIVES Spontaneous nystagmus, which has been considered a typical sign of acute vestibulopathy, has recently been reported in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo involving the lateral semicircular canals (LC-BPPV) without unilateral vestibulopathy (pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus, PSN), but research about its clinical application is still limited. Here we investigate the frequency and charact...
