BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo. It most often occurs spontaneously in the 50 to 70 year age group. In younger individuals it is the commonest cause of vertigo following head injury. There is a wide spectrum of severity from inconsistent positional vertigo to continuous vertigo provoked by any head movement. It is likely to be a cause of falls and other morbidity in the elderly. Misdia...

If Semont's liberating manoeuvre does not lead to relief of symptoms in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of posterior semicircular canal after the first session, it can be repeated once again, in refractory cases, whilst symptomatic patients after second manoeuvre require rehabilitation therapy Repeating Semont's manoeuvre several times has proven to progressively increase the percentage of...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Epley's and maneuvers plus betahistine for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in a Peshawar tertiary care hospital. Method: The took place from January 15th, 2018, 2019, at hospital evaluation. There are two types patients we aiming for. In group A, with underwent technique alone, whereas those B received both procedure bet...

We sought to ascertain the importance of psychological manifestations of vertigo and psychogenic vertigo among a Portuguese population. Sixty patients complaining of vertigo and imbalance were studied over a 2-year period. At each assessment, the patients underwent a general examination, a neurootological evaluation, psychiatric interviews, and psychopathological assessments conducted by a mult...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo and has a lifetime prevalence of 2.4% in the general population. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused when calcium carbonate material originating from the macula of the utricle falls into one of the semicircular canals. Due to their density relative to the endolymph, they move in response to grav...

BACKGROUND Vascular risk factors predispose to vertebrobasilar ischemia. Cervical osteophytes can impinge on the vertebral artery causing mechanical occlusion during head turning. Presentation with vertigo in such instances is a common finding. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, and vertigo triggered by head rotation is presented. She...

Vertigo is a sensation of movement when no movement is actually occurring. It is often accompanied by visceral autonomic symptoms including pallor, diaphoresis, nausea, and vomiting. Vertigo is similar to motion sickness in that both may be caused by vestibular stimulation that does not match an internal model of expected environmental stimuli. Indeed, a functioning vestibular system is necessa...

benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (bppv) is a condition that indicates a benign inner ear disorder. it is generally believed that bppv is due to the dislodged otoconial particles from otolith organs and unusual collection of them within any of semicircular canals or even in all three semicircular canals. although the typical features of nystagmus in bppv have been well-studied, very few stud...

UNLABELLED Balance disorders affect social, family and professional activities. Vestibular rehabilitation can reduce the impact of these disorders on the quality of life of individuals with vertigo. AIM to study the influence of vestibular rehabilitation on the quality of life of individuals, correlating it with gender, age, results from computerized vectoelectronystagmography and vertigo. ...

The post-traumatic origin of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo remains the most likely, from a patho-physiologic point of view. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo due to surgical "traumas" has been described in the medical literature. According to personal experience, these iatrogenic cases represent a rare possibility and may be the consequence of surgical interventions differing accordin...
