vertigo

[ver´tĭ-go] a sensation of rotation or movement of one's self (subjective vertigo) or of one's surroundings (objective vertigo) in any plane. The term is sometimes used erroneously as a synonym for dizziness.

be·nign par·ox·ys·mal positional ver·ti·go

a recurrent, brief form of positional vertigo occurring in clusters; believed to result from displaced remnants of utricular otoconia into the semicircular ducts, usually the posterior. Synonym(s): canalithiasis, cupulolithiasis

benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

A form of transient vertigo caused by utricular degeneration which liberates otoconia: otoconia drift into the lower part of the vestibule, the ampulla of the posterior semicircular canal; once there, the otoconia alter the cupola’s specific gravity, changing its response characteristics from a purely angular acceleration detector to one that is stimulated by linear movements and gravity.

Incidence
BPPV is a common form of vertigo, more common in older adults.

Aetiology
Closed head injury, vestibular neuronitis, infections, post-stapedectomy.

Diagnosis
History—e.g., single bouts of severe vertigo of < 1 min in duration after a change in head position, often more severe on one side, when bending, looking to take an object off a shelf or tilting the head back; the episodes are clustered in time and separated by remissions lasting months or more; Hallpike maneuver.

Management
Particle repositioning maneuver; occlusion of affected canal using a bone chop:fibrinogen glue plug; most BPPV resolves spontaneously within several months of onset, especially following head injury; persistent, near-disabling symptoms may mandate surgery: singular neurectomy, vestibular neurectomy or posterior semicircular canal occlusion.

benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

A very common cause of dizziness precipitated by head movements or by lying down or turning over in bed. There is a typical circular movement of the eyes (rotational nystagmus) when the head is inclined and turned to the affected side. The disorder is due to debris in the semicircular canals that moves with head movement causing a current of endolymph and stimulation of the position sense mechanism. In nearly 80 per cent of cases the condition resolves spontaneously in a few days or weeks. The condition can be corrected by a sequence of movements of the head and truck that rotates the posterior semicircular canal in a plane so that debris is moved into the utricle (Epley manoeuvre).
