Abstract Background The bucket test is a simple and practical instrument to evaluate vestibular diseases; additionally, it could be a useful tool in the evaluation of the vertigo patient. Unfortunately, the bucket test still lacks standardization. The objective of this study was to evaluate and to interpret the subjective visual vertical (SVV) using the bucket test in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Ménière’s disease patients. We performed a cross-sectional study in a secondary care center. All patients with diagnosis of unilateral posterior canal BPPV or Ménière’s disease underwent complete neuro-otological physical examination and the bucket test. Normal bucket test was 0° to 3° according to previous study. Results We included seventy-eight subjects. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo cases (n = 51) showed a mean 2.62° of SVV prior to the Epley maneuver and 1.7° of SVV after the maneuver (p = < 0.001), 57% of patients with BPPV were categorized as abnormal. Inactive Ménière’s disease patients (n = 22) had mean SVV of 2.74° and Ménière’s disease with active crisis (n = 5) had 5.06° of SVV (p = 0.002). Conclusion The bucket test is a simple and useful test for the evaluation of SVV, and it has a role in the evaluation of patients with active vestibular diseases such as Ménière’s disease and BPPV.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

BACKGROUND: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common clinical entities, which develops spontaneously in most of the cases, but it can be secondary as a result of different conditions such as head injuries, viral neurolabyrinthitis, Meniere’s disease and vertebrobasilar ischemia. The aim of presenting this case is to point out to the need of taking a precise clinical history and performing Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre in all patients who complain about vertigo regardless of the previously diagnosed primary disease of the inner ear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old female patient presented with the classical triad of symptoms for Meniere’s disease (fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss in the right ear, tinnitus and fullness in the same ear and rotary vertigo), two years later complained of brief episodes of vertigo linked to changes in head position relative to gravity. Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre showed a classical response in the head-hanging right position. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in the same ear was diagnosed in this patient. After treatment with Epley’s canal repositioning manoeuvre for a few days, the symptoms of positional vertigo resolved. CONCLUSION: The authors recommend complete audiological and otoneurological evaluation in all patients with vertigo for timely recognition/diagnosis of any inner ear associated pathology.
