Horizontal canal benign positional vertigo (BPV) affects 12% of BPV patients, presenting with vertigo upon lying down and bidirectional nystagmus. A 360-degree repositioning maneuver is effective when the affected ear is correctly identified.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Vestibular System Disorders

Background:

  • Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is a common vestibular disorder.
  • The horizontal canal variant of BPV was initially predicted from temporal bone studies.
  • Clinical confirmation of horizontal canal BPV lagged behind initial predictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the prevalence of horizontal canal benign positional vertigo (BPV) in a patient cohort.
  • To describe the clinical features and diagnostic characteristics of horizontal canal BPV.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of repositioning treatment for horizontal canal BPV.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 300 patients diagnosed with BPV.
  • Identification of horizontal canal variant based on specific vertigo onset and nystagmus patterns.

  • Application of a 360-degree horizontal head and body rotation repositioning treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • 35 out of 300 patients (12%) were diagnosed with the horizontal canal variant of BPV.
    • Key diagnostic features include vertigo in the supine position and bidirectional horizontal nystagmus during lateral head turning.
    • Canal conversion occurred in one-third of cases during treatment for posterior canal BPV.
    • The mechanism involves either canalithiasis or cupulolithiasis.

    Conclusions:

    • Horizontal canal BPV is a clinically significant variant of BPV with distinct presentation.
    • Accurate identification of the affected ear is crucial for successful repositioning treatment.
    • The 360-degree repositioning maneuver demonstrates high success rates for horizontal canal BPV.
