“Sitting-up vertigo as an expression of posterior semicircular canal heavy cupula and posterior semicircular canal short arm canalolithiasis” [PDF]
Journal of Otology, 2022 Background: Vestibular symptoms on sitting-up are frequent on patients seen by vestibular specialists. Recently, a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) variant which elicits vestibular symptoms with oculomotor evidence of posterior semicircular ...

Diagnosis and treatment of the short-arm type posterior semicircular canal BPPV [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022 Introduction: The Epley maneuver is useful for the otoconia to return from the long arm of the posterior semicircular canal into the utricle. To move otoconia out of the posterior semicircular canal short arm and into the utricle, we need different ...

Posterior Semicircular Canal Plugging Relieves Tumarkin’s Crisis in Ménière’s Disease Patients [PDF]
Audiology Research(1) Background: Patients affected by Ménière’s disease can experience Tumarkin’s syndrome, which is characterized by postural instability, gait abnormalities, and, occasionally, an abrupt loss of balance known as vestibular drop attack or Tumarkin’s ...

Apogeotropic Posterior Semicircular Canal BPPV-A Case Series from South Rajasthan. [PDF]
Ann Indian Acad Neurol, 2023 Apogeotropic variant of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (apo-PSC-BPPV) is a rare peripheral vestibular disorder, characterized by paroxysms of positionally triggered dizzy spells associated with non-positional disequilibrium.

Spontaneous Jamming of Horizontal Semicircular Canal Combined with Canalolithiasis of Contralateral Posterior Semicircular Canal. [PDF]
J Audiol Otol, 2022 Spontaneous canalith jam is an uncommon form of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo mimicking acute vestibular neuritis. We described for the first time a spontaneous horizontal semicircular canalith jam associated with a typical canalolithiasis involving contralateral posterior semicircular canal (PSC), illustrating how the latter condition modified ...

Posterior semicircular canal occlusion in the normal hearing ear [PDF]
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1991 This report outlines our experience with posterior semicircular canal occlusion, a new operative procedure for intractable benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). We postulate that the resulting solid canal “plug” prevents endolymph movement within the posterior canal, which effectively fixes the cupula.

Preferential Impairment of the Contralesional Posterior Semicircular Canal in Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 BackgroundThe vertical vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) may be impaired in internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) as the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) conveys VOR-signals from the vertical semicircular canals.

Posterior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence with Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Reduction for the Affected Canal at the Video-Head Impulse Test: Considerations to Pathomechanisms [PDF]
Audiology ResearchPosterior semicircular canal dehiscence (PSCD) has been demonstrated to result in a third mobile window mechanism (TMWM) in the inner ear similar to superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD).

Posterior semicircular canal dehiscence: a diagnostic and surgical conundrum. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2019 Third window defects have increasingly been identified as a cause of vertigo. These defects are bony dehiscences that occur in the bony labyrinth, resulting in abnormal pressure gradient in the inner ear fluids leading to sound (Tullio’s phenomenon) or pressure (Hennebert’s sign) induced vertigo. The superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is a
