OBJECTIVES This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations on managing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which is the most common vestibular disorder in adults, with a lifetime prevalence of 2.4 percent. The guideline targets patients aged 18 years or older with a potential diagnosis of BPPV, evaluated in any setting in which an adult with BPPV would be identified, monitored, ...

The canal repositional procedure (CRP) significantly relieves paroxysmal symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and accurate diagnosis of BPPV as well as identification of the site of the debris improves the efficacy of the therapy. However, BPPV is not only cause of positional vertigo, other diseases could also cause positional vertigo. We studied 248 patients admitted to our...

BACKGROUND Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular problem. However, demographic analysis is few. AIM The aim of this study was to document the demographic data of patients with BPPV regarding distribution of gender, age, associated problems, most common form, symptom duration, severity of nystagmus and cure rate. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare nystagmus characteristics after caloric irrigation in patients with lateral canal (LC) and posterior canal (PC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and to analyze the role of symptom duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 65 patients with BPPV (20 LC and 45 PC) who were subjected to caloric testing. Average sl...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the time course of caloric response in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). PATIENTS Seventy-four individuals with diagnosis of BPPV during Dix-Hallpike (DH) test. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, longitudinal study. SETTING A tertiary referral center. INTERVENTION Patients were treated by particle repositioning maneuvers according to the affected c...

BACKGROUND Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a common cause of vertigo caused by dislodged otoconia. PURPOSE To study the therapeutic efficacy in Indian population and modify the Canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) into a simple, precise and easily reproducible out door procedure. METHODS All patients with Posterior canal BPPV were selected based on Dix Hallpike test and were subje...

The objective of the present study is to analyze the quantitative vestibulo-ocular responses in a group of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) canalolithiasis and compare these data with the data of the tridimensional biomechanical model. This study was conducted on 70 patients that presented idiopathic posterior semicircular canal canalolithiasis. The diagnosis was obtain...

Atypical variants of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are often encountered and frequently confusing. The authors present a hypothetical framework that accounts for all classical patterns of BPPV and several unusual variants such as BPPV without nystagmus, BPPV with downbeat nystagmus and BPPV with paradoxically direction-changing nystagmus. The authors introduce new concepts, such a...

Abstract Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a commonly recognized vestibular disorder which characterized by brief periods of and characteristic nystagmus. The nystagmus often difficult to appreciate with naked eyes hence video oculography helpful tool. Dizziness Handicap Inventory an objective way assess the impact on quality life. Objective Our study here aims at diagnosing undiag...

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common problem encountered in medical and otorhinolaryngological practice. It is quite a distressing symptom and affects the patients day-to-day activities. A multifactorial etiology has been attributed to the symptom of vertigo. Causes may be otological, neurological, medical or psychogenic. BPPV is probably the most common cause of ...
