This review highlights advances in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, and migrainous vertigo. Despite progress, further research is needed for effective vestibular syndrome treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Neuro-otological syndromes like BPPV, SCCDS, and migrainous vertigo are increasingly recognized.
  • Despite scientific advancements, these conditions often face under-recognition and undertreatment.
  • Understanding these syndromes is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent scientific progress in three key neuro-otological syndromes.
  • To highlight current understanding and treatment efficacy for BPPV, SCCDS, and migrainous vertigo.
  • To identify areas requiring further research in vestibular disorder management.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of current literature on BPPV, SCCDS, and migrainous vertigo.
  • Analysis of randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses regarding treatment efficacy.

  • Synthesis of findings on clinical presentation and diagnostic advancements.

    • Main Results:

    • Epley's maneuver is effective for BPPV, with no added benefit from head vibration or prolonged upright posture post-treatment.
    • Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome presents with vertigo and low-frequency conductive hearing loss.
    • Migrainous vertigo can manifest as spontaneous or positional vertigo, or chronic dizziness; vestibular rehabilitation aids chronic symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant progress has been made in understanding and treating specific vestibular syndromes.
    • However, many aspects of neuro-otological disorders remain unexplored.
    • Further randomized controlled trials are essential to advance treatment strategies for various vestibular syndromes.
