Herein, we introduce “Look and Diagnose” (LAD), a hybrid deep learning-based system that aims to support doctors in the medical field for diagnosing effectively Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) disorder. Given body postures of patient Dix-Hallpike lateral head turns test, visual info...

We assessed the efficacy of the Epley maneuver (canalith repositioning) in a study of 81 patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). A group of 61 patients underwent the maneuver, while a control group of 20 patients received no therapy. All patients were evaluated at 1 and 6 months. The percentage of patients who experienced subjective improvement wa...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common type of positional vertigo. A canalolithiasis-type of BPPV involving the lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) shows a characteristic direction-changing positional nystagmus (DCPN) which beats towards the lower ear (geotropic) on turning the head to either side in a supine position. Because geotropic DCPN in LSCC canalolithiasis is tran...

Abstract Background BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is a disorder that causes sudden, spinning sensation for few seconds with specific head movements. Of all disorders of inner ear dizziness, BPPP the most common one. To understand this disorder, we conducted retrospective study at tertiary care ENT hospital in Eastern India. Aims and objectives 1. know incidence among vertigo patie...

This article discusses the pathophysiology, evidence of treatment efficacy, and factors that contribute to improved treatment outcome in three different vestibular disorders. In patients with unilateral and bilateral vestibular loss, recent research suggests that customized, supervised exercises facilitate recovery of postural stability. These exercises are based on knowledge of normal vestibul...

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 ...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. Different treatments are used to alleviate the symptoms of vertigo and nystagmus. These are based on an attempt to reposition the particles in the semi-circular canals that is believed to be the cause of this pathology. In this review we compare the different manoeuvres used depending on the type of BPPV in an ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of canalith repositioning maneuvers (Semont, Epley, and modified maneuvers) in the treatment of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in comparison to the rate of resolution in the untreated control cohort. DATA SOURCES Source articles were identified by a MEDLINE search of English language sources before 2004 plus manual crosschecks of...

OBJECTIVE The relatively low success rate of the treatment maneuver for horizontal semicircular canal (HSC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may be caused by the difficulty determining the affected side. We developed a 180-degree supine roll test (SRT) by modifying the 90-degree SRT to increase diagnostic accuracy and evaluated its significance. STUDY DESIGN A prospective study. ...
