“Sitting-up vertigo as an expression of posterior semicircular canal heavy cupula and posterior semicircular canal short arm canalolithiasis” [PDF]
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 ...

Spontaneous Jamming of Horizontal Semicircular Canal Combined with Canalolithiasis of Contralateral Posterior Semicircular Canal [PDF]
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 ...

Diagnosis and treatment of the short-arm type posterior semicircular canal BPPV [PDF]
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 Dehiscence with Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Reduction for the Affected Canal at the Video-Head Impulse Test: Considerations to Pathomechanisms [PDF]
Posterior 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).

Preferential Impairment of the Contralesional Posterior Semicircular Canal in Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia [PDF]
Background The 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: a diagnostic and surgical conundrum [PDF]
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 ...

Congruous Torsional Down Beating Nystagmus in the Third Position of the Semont's Maneuver in Patients Treated for Canalithiasis of Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Its Significance and Prognostic Value [PDF]
Due to its mechanical pathogenesis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment is mainly physical: when posterior semicircular canal is involved, Semont's maneuver is reported as one of the most effective liberating procedures.

The 3D characteristics of nystagmus in posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo [PDF]
Objective The aim of this study was to observe the 3-dimensional (3D; horizontal, vertical, and torsional) characteristics of nystagmus in patients with posterior semicircular canal canalithiasis (PSC-can)–related benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ...
