Natural course of the remission of vertigo in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

The authors assessed the natural course of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in 108 patients who were not treated with canalith repositioning procedure. The average number of days from onset to remission of positional vertigo in patients with posterior canal BPPV (P-BPPV) (39 days) was longer than in those with horizontal canal BPPV (H-BPPV) (16 days). The ratio of patients with H-BPPV to those with BPPV was 33%.

A newly recognised cause of vertigo: horizontal canal variant of benign positional vertigo.

AIMS: To describe the presentation, causes, treatment, and outcomes of patients presenting with the newly recognised horizontal canal variant of benign positional vertigo (BPV); and to emphasise the importance of performing a positional test on all patients being assessed for vertigo. METHODS: The records on 400 patients presenting with BPV were analysed. Two detailed patient histories from 2004 are included. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients (12%) had horizontal canal BPV. The median presentation age was 59 years. In 17 patients, it presented de novo during repositioning treatment for 'classical' posterior canal BPV. Repositioning is in the horizontal plane, with the direction depending on whether the mechanism is canalithiasis or cupulolithiasis. CONCLUSIONS: Horizontal canal BPV explains nearly all variations on 'classical' (posterior canal) BPV. It accounts for at least 10% of BPV and has been frequently misdiagnosed. Repositioning is usually curative if the symptomatic ear is correctly identified.

["Zurich Vertigo Meeting"--phobic postural vertigo].

Phobic postural vertigo has been described as a syndrome that is distinguishable from agoraphobia, acrophobia, and "space phobia". Closely related to locomotion, it is characterized by a combination of nonrotational vertigo with subjective postural and gait instability mainly in patients with an obsessive-compulsive personality. The monosymptomatic disturbance of balance manifests with superimposed attacks that occur with and without recognizable provoking factors in the same patient and are experienced with and without accompanying excess anxiety, misleading both patient and physician to a false diagnosis of organic disease.

Postural vertigo. Quick relief from the postural vertigo component of vestibular diseases.

Patients who had disorders of the vestibular system with a component of benign postural vertigo as a symptom were studied, using an examination table suitable for the canalith (otolith) repositioning maneuver as described by Epply, followed by lack of recumbency for 48 hours. The patients regularly had resolution or decreased intensity of symptoms, as did those described by Epply. A repeated positioning maneuver may be needed in some of the patients. The application of a vibrator, as previously described has not been found to be essential.

[Psychogenic vertigo incapacitates patients longer. What psychiatric illnesses might manifest as vertigo].

Dizziness is a common symptom that, despite extensive medical evaluation, often remains unexplained. Psychiatric or psychosomatic disorders underlie the condition in 30-55% of the cases. The most common disturbances are phobic and anxiety disorders, followed by dissociative, depressive and somatoform disorders. The assessment of psychiatric and psychosomatic symptoms should always be included in the neuro-otological examination of dizziness. Early interdisciplinary treatment should be initiated with the aim of preventing chronification of psycho-genetic vertigo.

[Benign paroxysmal vertigo or benign postural vertigo].

This paper defines the benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV). It recalls the etiopathogenicity of this syndrome and describes the different types of BPV and their treatment by "liberatory maneuvers". The paper also discusses the need for an otoneurological examination to reach an exact diagnosis.
