'''Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo''' (BPPV) or "Benign paroxysmal [[Vertigo (medical)|vertigo]]" (BPV) is a condition caused by problems in the [[inner ear]]. 
|- bgcolor="Pink"
!
[[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (patient information)|Patient Information]]
|-
!


==Cause==
|- bgcolor="Pink"
Within the labyrinth of the inner [[ear]] lie collections of calcium crystals known as [[otoconia]].  In patients, the otoconia are dislodged from their usual position within the [[utricle]] and they migrate over time into one of the [[semicircular canals]] (the posterior canal is most commonly affected due to its anatomical position). When the head is reoriented relative to gravity, the gravity-dependent movement of the heavier otoconial debris within the affected semicircular canal causes abnormal (pathological) fluid [[endolymph]] displacement and a resultant sensation of [[vertigo (medical)|vertigo]]. This more common condition is known as canalithiasis. 
!
[[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo overview|Overview]]
|-
!


In rare cases, the crystals themselves can adhere to a semicircular canal [[cupula]] rendering it heavier than the surrounding endolymph. Upon reorientation of the head relative to gravity, the cupula is weighted down by the dense particles thereby inducing an immediate and maintained excitation of semicircular canal afferents [[afferent nerve]]. This condition is termed cupulolithiasis.

==Presentation==
|- bgcolor="Pink"
The primary symptom is the sudden onset of severe [[vertigo (medical)|vertigo]] and [[nystagmus]] that occurs exclusively with head movement in the direction of the affected ear. 
!
[[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo classification|Classification]]
|-
!


Patients often describe their first experience occurring while turning their head in bed. 
|- bgcolor="Pink"
!
[[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]
|-

The vertigo is brief in duration — 5 seconds to 30 seconds. 
|- bgcolor="Pink"
!
[[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo causes|Causes]]

It is often associated with [[nausea]].

Patients do not experience other neurological deficits such as [[numbness]] or [[weakness]], and if these symptoms are present, a more concerning etiology such as posterior circulation [[stroke]], must be considered.

==Diagnosis==
|- bgcolor="Pink"
The condition is diagnosed by performing the Dix-Hallpike maneuver which is diagnostic for the condition. The test involves a reorientation of the head to align the posterior canal (at its entrance to the ampulla) with the direction of gravity.  This test stimulus is effective in provoking the symptoms in subjects suffering from archetypal BPPV. These symptoms are typically a short lived [[Vertigo (medical)|vertigo]], and observed [[nystagmus]].
!
Dix-Hallpike Maneuver-Done by direct observation of eye movement or by using video goggles. Describe the test to patient. Ask patient to sit on the examination table, turn patient's head to 45 degree to the right side and check for nystagmus. Ask patient to lie down with head extended 45 degree and head extended below level of examination table or resting on examination table with 20 degree below horizontal using a pillow. Observe for nystagmus duration and character. If nystagmus present, it is BPPV on that side. After nystagmus disappeared, sit patient up, it should reverse when she sits. Repeat the test in the left side.

==Treatment==
|- bgcolor="Pink"
The treatment of choice for this condition is the Epley canalith repositional maneuver which is effective in approximately 80% of patients[http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/bppv/bppv.html]. The treatment employs [[gravity]] to move the [[calcium]] build-up that causes the condition).<ref>{{cite journal | author=von Brevern M, Seelig T, Radtke A, ''et al.'' | title=Short-term efficacy of Epley's maneuver: a double-blind randomised trial | journal=J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatr | year=2006 | volume=77 | pages=980&ndash;82 }}</ref> The particle repositioning maneuver (Epley Maneuver) can be performed during a clinic visit by specially trained otolaryngologists, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, or audiologists. The maneuver is relatively simple but few general health practitioners know how to perform it.

Treatment may also be achieved with the use of a device such as "The DizzyFIX", a device that enables patients and health practitioners to guide themselves through the particle repositioning maneuver[http://www.dizzyfix.com].  The maneuver can be conducted at home and repeated as often as needed.  Other devices, such as a head over heels "rotational chair", are also available at some tertiary care centers <ref>{{cite journal | author=Furman JM, Cass SP, Briggs BC. | title=Treatment of benign positional vertigo

Diagnosis
|-  
!


The Epley maneuver (particle repositioning) does not address the actual presence of the particles (otoconia), rather it changes their location.  The maneuver moves these particles from areas in the inner ear which cause symptoms, such as vertigo, and repositions them into areas where they do not cause these problems. Epley maneuver/canalith repositioning maneuver steps-Find out which side(Right or Left) produces symptoms. Ask the patient to sit on the examination table, position patient's head at around 45 degree, hold for 30 seconds to a minute. Next is ask the patient to lie down with maintaining the head at 45 degree, should be done slowly to avoid dizziness. Head should be resting below the table at 45 degree angle for 30 seconds. Slowly move the head to the left, hold for 30 seconds. Ask patient to lie on the left side with the head in 45 degree angle for 30 seconds. Ask patient to sit up slowly with chin tilted down and to be in the position for 30 seconds. After the maneuver the patient should keep the head in a vertical position for 48 hrs.Give the patient a neck collar to maintain head in vertical position. May be needed to repeat the Epley maneuver if symptoms recur.

[[Meclizine]] is a commonly prescribed medication, but is ultimately ineffective for this condition, other than masking the dizziness. Other sedative medications help mask the symptoms associated with BPPV but do not affect the disease process or resolution rate. Serc is available in some countries and is commonly prescribed but again it is likely ineffective.  Particle repositioning remains the current gold standard treatment for most cases of BPPV.

Surgical treatments, such as a semi-circular canal occlusion, do exist for BPPV but carry the same risk as any neurosurgical procedure.  Surgery is reserved for severe and persistent cases which fail particle repositioning and medical therapy.
