Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Seminars in Neurology, 2013
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common and the most effectively treated vestibular disorder. The prevailing pathomechanism is canalolithiasis, which is otoconia falling in one of the semicircular canals where they move in response to changes of the head position, triggering excitation of the vestibular receptors of the affected ...

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

The Laryngoscope, 1997
AbstractBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has received renewed clinical interest. At the Johns Hopkins Otological Vestibular Laboratory, 781 patients were tested on more than one occasion between September 1976 and November 1992. Of these patients, 187 (24%) were found to have positional nystagmus consistent with a diagnosis of BPPV.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1994
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a peripheral vestibular disorder affecting the posterior semicircular canal. It is most often idiopathic in nature, though it has been known to occur in patients following head injury, Meniere's disease, acoustic neuroma and viral neuronitis.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a common disorder of the inner ear that should be suspected in all patients with a history of positionally provoked vertigo. The condition appears to be caused by free-floating debris in the posterior semicircular canal.

Vertigo in Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2000
We retrieved information on 59 patients, 19 men and 40 women, with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) from the database of the otoneurologic expert system (ONE). The original number of patients was greater, but we excluded all those with hearing loss of any origin.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

2019
Purpose of Chapter: This chapter discusses the recent progress made in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Recent Findings: Recent evidence supports the canalolithiasis model as the pathophysiological mechanism and predominant subtype of BPPV.

Treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2016
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder. BPPV is easily diagnosed by positioning tests and effectively treated by repositioning maneuvers. The authors focus on the treatment of BPPV, when different canals are affected, including canalo- and cupulolithiasias.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be diagnosed with great certainty, and treated effectively at the bedside using one of the canalith repositioning procedures described in this paper. This treatment has been shown effective in properly controlled trials, has a rational basis, and has minimal risk.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2016
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vestibular vertigo. It is caused by dislodged otoconia that enters the semicircular canals. Its main symptom is relapsing positional vertigo. The provocative tests, in particular the Dix-Hallpike maneuver, are used to confirm the diagnosis.
