The Epley maneuver for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

In recent years, different forms of physical therapy have been proposed for the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). These mainly consist of maneuvers aiming to reposition and disperse free-floating endolymph particles in the posterior semicircular canal. We report our experience with one of these procedures, the Epley maneuver (EM), in treating 30 cases of BPPV. Twenty-six patients (87%) were cured, while four (13%) did not respond to treatment. These results are similar to those reported in the literature for the EM and the Sémont maneuver.     

咳嗽对良性阵发性位置性眩晕手法复位疗效的影响

目的：分析患良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV）的慢性咳嗽患者经手法复位治疗后的疗效,为BPPV的综合治疗及病因探索提供帮助。方法：分析2009—10—2012—12期间400例BPPV患者的治疗效果,包括观察患者的症状和行体位试验检查。结果：后半规管BPPV的一次治疗成功率为93．4％,水平半规管BPPV治疗成功率为83．0％。在400例BPPV患者中随访到372例,一次治疗成功的复诊患者中,有35例复位治疗好转后又出现阵发性眩晕发作,再次行手法复位仍取得良好效果。追问病史,有29例存在不同程度的咳嗽。控制咳嗽后再行手法复位治疗,眩晕症状消失,随访半年未再发作。结论：BPPV的发生机制可能与咳嗽所致的头部震动有关。     

Diagnosis and therapeutic options in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common and treatable causes of vertigo. We examined BPPV types and the effectiveness of physical therapy in each type. BPPV is caused by a utricular statoconium that blocks the semicircular canal. Statoconia can block any of the semicircular canals, but they generally affects the posterior canal. Diagnosis is based on a typical history and characteristic eye movements elicited by the Dix-Hallpike test. Treatment involves a physical maneuver designed to mobilize the free calcium particles from the semicircular canal to the utricle. Canalith repositioning is the mainstay of treatment. The maneuver is illustrated in detail and other forms of treatment and their indications are discussed.

Repositioning maneuver for the treatment of the apogeotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a new physical maneuver in the treatment of the apogeotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. STUDY DESIGN: Case review. SETTING: Outpatient clinic. PATIENTS: The diagnosis of apogeotropic horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo was based on the history of recurrent sudden crisis of vertigo associated with bursts of horizontal apogeotropic paroxysmal nystagmus provoked by turning the head from the supine to either lateral position. The patients were three men and five women ranging in age from 31 to 73 years (average, 49.2 yr). INTERVENTIONS: All patients were treated with a repositioning maneuver based on the hypothesis that the syndrome is caused by the presence of free-floating dense particles inside the endolymph of the anterior arm of the horizontal canal. The maneuver favors their shifting into the posterior arm of the canal. Patients were reexamined immediately after the treatment and underwent Gufoni's liberatory maneuver for the geotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The treatment outcome was considered as responsive when, after one repositioning maneuver, nystagmus shifted from apogeotropic to geotropic. RESULTS: The repositioning maneuver resulted in a transformation from the apogeotropic variant into a geotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in all patients. CONCLUSION: This maneuver represents a simple and effective approach to the treatment of the apogeotropic variant of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It favors the shifting of the canaliths from the anterior into the posterior arm of the horizontal canal from where they can migrate into the utricle with Gufoni's maneuver.     

同时性后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕

目的：探讨同时性后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕（混合性良性位置性眩晕）的诊治方法。方法：联合应用Epley手法和Barbecue翻滚法对4例患者进行治疗，两次治疗间隔1d。结果：4例患者眩晕症状完全消失，随访至今无复发。结论：混合性良性位置性眩晕兼有后半规管与水平半规管性良性位置性眩晕的临床表现，联合采用Epley手法和Barbecue翻滚法治疗该病是可行的。     

Persistent vertigo following particle repositioning maneuvers: an analysis of causes

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the causes of persistent vertigo following treatment with particle repositioning maneuvers (PRMs) in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. DESIGN: Prospective study of outcomes in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. STUDY SETTING: Outpatient clinic of a tertiary care referral center. PATIENTS: A sample of 90 consecutive patients with documented benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal who had persistent vertigo after at least 3 sessions of PRMs during a period of 2 weeks. INTERVENTION: Particle repositioning using a modified Epley maneuver. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Persistent vertigo following at least 3 sessions of PRMs over a period of 2 weeks. RESULTS: Seven patients showed partial or no improvement following treatment. The causes subsequently determined included coincident horizontal canal positional vertigo (2 cases), Ménière's disease (2 cases), persistent posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in association with cervical spondylosis (2 cases), and a posterior fossa meningioma (1 case). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with persistent or frequently recurring positional vertigo following treatment with PRMs should undergo detailed investigation to exclude coincidental pathology for which specific treatment is required. In patients in whom no coincident pathology requiring therapy is identified, treatment options other than the PRM already instituted should be considered.     

Diagnosis and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common disorder of the vestibular labyrinth which should be suspected in all patients with a history of vertigo during changes of head position. The BPPV appears to be caused by free-floating debris in the posterior semicircular canal. The diagnosis is confirmed by eliciting characteristic symptoms during the Dix-Hallpike test. Although the BPPV usually is a self-limited disorder treatment with a specific bedside maneuver is effective and can shorten the duration of symptoms.

Surgical management for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the superior semicircular canal

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the superior semicircular canal is a rare form of BPPV. It accounts for 1% to 3% of cases. The characteristic nystagmus is positional, down‐beating, with a torsional component elicited by the Dix‐Hallpike maneuver. Symptoms of superior semicircular canal BPPV often resolve spontaneously; however, it can be refractory to repositioning maneuvers. Surgical management is described for posterior semicircular canal BPPV. To date, however, there is only one reported case of surgical management for superior semicircular canal BPPV. Here we show video documentation of positional, down‐beating nystagmus and describe a case of superior semicircular canal BPPV requiring canal occlusion with successful resolution of symptoms.

目的了解继发于突发性聋的良性阵发性位置性眩晕（benign paroxysmal positional vertigo,BPPV）的发病情况并探讨其治疗策略。方法观察眩晕门诊及耳内科病房中心2004年1月-2010年1月收治的210例突发性聋患者（包括伴有眩晕的突发性聋）合并BPPV的发病情况,并与同期183例原发性BPPV相比较。结果本组突发性聋病例并发BPPV为19．0％（40／210）;40例患者均为高频感音神经性聋或平坦型感音神经性聋。本文40例继发于突发性聋的BPPV,出现时间均在突发性聋发病后t周内。继发性BPPV的手法复位效果与原发性BPPV相似,大多数都于1～2次就诊后治愈。结论突发性聋继发的BPPV是临床常见的现象;继发于突聋的BPPV与原发性BPPV都是以后半规管BPPV多见,并与原发性BPPV手法复位的疗效相似。     

Efficacy of the Epley maneuver for posterior canal BPPV: a long-term, controlled study of 81 patients

We assessed the efficacy of the Epley maneuver (canalith repositioning) in a study of 81 patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). A group of 61 patients underwent the maneuver, while a control group of 20 patients received no therapy. All patients were evaluated at 1 and 6 months. The percentage of patients who experienced subjective improvement was significantly higher in the treatment group at both 1 month (89% vs. 10%) and 6 months (92% vs. 50%). Three patients in the treatment group who did not improve after treatment underwent a second maneuver, and all achieved a positive result. In addition, 4 successfully treated patients experienced a recurrence between 1 and 6 months following treatment; 3 were retreated, and 2 of them responded well. We conclude that the Epley maneuver provides effective and long-term control of symptoms in patients with BPPV.     

Inkurabler und atypischer benigner paroxysmaler Lagerungsschwindel

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequent vestibular disorder and a most common cause of dizziness and vertigo. The modern canalolithiasis theory postulates the existence of free-floating dense otolithic particles in the endolymph of the posterior semicircular canal. The symptoms were exactly described by Dix and Hallpike; BPPV is normally a self-limited disease with spontaneous recovery. There is however a small number of patients who do not respond to any treatment or who present with otolithic vertigo which does not fit all Dix-Hallpike criteria (atypical BPPV). While BPPV in its typical appearance cannot be diagnosed with radiologic imaging, the authors succeeded in identifying structural changes in the vestibular organs of patients suffering from intractable or atypical BPPV using three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging.

Canal switch after canalith repositioning procedure for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Canal switch is a complication following canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Instead of being returned to the utricle, the loose otoconia migrate into the superior or horizontal semicircular canal. Patients remain symptomatic, and treatment can be ineffective unless the switch is recognized and additional repositioning maneuvers directed toward the appropriate semicircular canal are performed. This report provides the first videographic documentation of canal switch involving conversion of unilateral posterior semicircular canal BPPV to geotropic horizontal canalithiasis.
