Vertical Nystagmus in the Bow and Lean Test may Indicate Hidden Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Hypothesis of the Location of Otoconia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 The ‘Bow and Lean Test’ (BLT) was developed for proper diagnosis of horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV). Occasionally, down- and/or up-beating vertical nystagmus is observed during the BLT.

Persistence of perilymph fistula mechanism in a completely paretic posterior semicircular canal [PDF]
Aktuelle Neurologie, 2005 The three dimensional eye movements (search coil technique) of a patient with a completely paretic left posterior semicircular canal as a result of a perilymph fistula (PLF) were studied. The patient still exhibited pressure induced nystagmus that obeyed Ewald's first law. This finding cannot be explained by otolith stimulation, but might indicate that

Dye Tracking Following Posterior Semicircular Canal or Round Window Membrane Injections Suggests a Role for the Cochlea Aqueduct in Modulating Distribution. [PDF]
Front Cell Neurosci, 2019 The inner ear houses the sensory epithelium responsible for vestibular and auditory function. The sensory epithelia are driven by pressure and vibration of the fluid filled structures in which they are embedded so that understanding the homeostatic ...

Ann Indian Acad Neurol, 2019 We thank Vibha D for her interest in our article. While increasing the sample size will definitely increase power of the study, the sample size was estimated to be 240 individuals (120 cases and 120 controls) to detect an odds ratio of 2.0 with 80% power

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.

Apogeotropic Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Some Clinical and Therapeutic Considerations [PDF]
Audiology Research, 2015 We lately reported the cases of patients complaining positional vertigo whose nystagmic pattern was that of a peripheral torsional vertical positional down beating nystagmus originating from a lithiasis of the non-ampullary arm of the posterior ...

The Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) Detects Vertical Semicircular Canal Dysfunction [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a useful clinical tool to detect semicircular canal dysfunction. However vHIT has hitherto been limited to measurement of horizontal canals, while scleral search coils have been the only accepted method ...

Management of Lateral Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular vertigo. It is caused by free-floating otoconia moving freely in one of the semicircular canals (canalolithiasis) or by otoliths adhered to the cupula ...
