The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technical variant applied to the Gufoni's manoeuvre, in the treatment of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV). 87 patients with BPPV of HSC (55 women and 32 men), aged between 21 and 80 years, were randomized either to modified Gufoni's manoeuvre or to the Gufoni's manoeuvre. 93% of patients treated with modified Gufoni's manoeuvre was cured after the first treatment session, of which only 2% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV, while the Gufoni's manoeuvre led to a symptoms resolution in 88% of cases, of which 16% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV. Therefore, the modified Gufoni's manoeuvre shows the same effectiveness in the resolution of symptoms of Gufoni's manoeuvre, but it appears more effective than the latter to reduce the percentage of conversion of the HSC-BPPV into PSC-BPPV (χ2=6.13,P=0.047).

Objective To describe a series of patients with bilateral benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BiBPPV), with respect to demographics, management, and outcome. Methods All patients who were identified and treated for BiBPPV in a previous 36-month period with a minimal follow-up period of 6 months were included. Patients were treated with Epley's maneuver (EM) on the side that was more symptomatic and that had a greater velocity and amplitude of tortional nystagmus. Patients were re-treated according to symptoms and findings on follow-up visits. Results Ten patients were identified with BiBPPV. Most patients complained of nonlocalized positional vertigo and unsteadiness. Four were males and 6 were females, and the mean age was 54 years. There was a positive history of recent head trauma in 4 of the patients. All patients recovered after performing a mean of 2.6 EMs during a 3-month period. One patient experienced unilateral recurrence and was re-treated successfully. Conclusion BiBPPV has typical characteristics and can be managed successfully with EM, performed on the more symptomatic side, followed by repeated treatments as needed.
