Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

AbstractBackground:Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and migraine-associated dizziness are common. The prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo seems to be higher in patients with migraine-associated dizziness than in those without migraine.Methods:A database of 508 patients seen at the primary author's balance clinic was analysed to determine the prevalence of migraine, as defined by International Headache Society criteria, in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.Results:The percentage of patients with dizziness or vertigo who met criteria for migraine was 33.7 per cent, with a prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of 42.3 per cent. When excluding patients with migrainous vertigo, patients with migraine frequently had benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (66.7 per centvs55.8 per cent), although this finding was not statistically significant.Conclusion:The results for the entire sample suggest that, after excluding patients with migrainous vertigo, patients with migraine seem more likely to have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; however, this association was not significant, probably because of the small sample size.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Vertigo and dizziness can be related to migraine in various ways: causally, statistically or, quite frequently, just by chance. Migrainous vertigo (MV) is a vestibular syndrome caused by migraine and presents with attacks of spontaneous or positional vertigo lasting seconds to days and migrainous symptoms during the attack. MV is the most common cause of spontaneous recurrent vertigo and is presently not included in the International Headache Society classification of migraine. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Ménière's disease (MD) are statistically related to migraine, but the possible pathogenetic links have not been established. Moreover, migraineurs suffer from motion sickness more often than controls. Persistent cerebellar symptoms may develop in the course of familial hemiplegic migraine. Dizziness may also be due to orthostatic hypotension, anxiety disorders or major depression which all have an increased prevalence in patients with migraine.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATION AND DIAGNOSIS OF VESTIBULAR MIGRAINEABSTRACTVestibular migraine (VM) is the most common cause of recurrent spontaneous vertigo on outpatient dizziness clinics. Clinical manifestation of VM is highly variable. Patient may present symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus, visual disturbance, phonophobia, photophobia, aural fullness, paresthesia, nausea, and vomiting. Most VM patients have normal physical examination between attacks. Diagnostic criteria of this disease based on joint consensus of the International Headache Society (IHS) together the Barany Society published in 2012. The Differential diagnosis of this disease are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, and acute ischemic attack. Moreover, vestibular migraine treatment is almost the same as for migraine.Keywords: Clinical manifestation, diagnosis, vestibular migraineABSTRAKMigren vestibular (MV) merupakan penyebab tersering vertigo spontan berulang pada pasien di poliklinik spesialis yang menangani rasa goyang. Manifestasi klinis dari migren vestibular sangat bervariasi. Pasien dapat mengeluhkan gejala seperti vertigo, pusing, tinitus, gangguan penglihatan, fonofobia, fotofobia, aural fullness, parestesi, mual, dan muntah. Pemeriksaan fisik pada pasien MV biasanya normal di antara serangan. Penegakan diagnosis penyakit ini berdasarkan konsensus bersama antara International Headache Society (IHS) dan Barany Society pada tahun 2012. Diagnosis diferensial penyakit ini adalah benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), penyakit Meniere, dan serangan iskemik akut. Sampai saat ini, terapi untuk migren vestibular hampir sama dengan terapi migren pada umumnya.Kata kunci: Diagnosis, manifestasi klinis, migren vestibular

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Background: It is known that traumatic brain injury (TBI), even of the mild variety, can cause diffuse multisystem neurological damage. Coordination of sensory input from the visual, vestibular and somatosensory pathways is important to obtain proper balance and stabilization in the visual environment. This coordination of systems is potentially disrupted in TBI leading to visual symptoms and complaints of dizziness and imbalance. The Center of Balance (COB) at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) is an interprofessional clinic specifically designed for patients with such complaints. An evaluation entails examination by an optometrist, audiologist and physical therapist and is concluded with a comprehensive rehabilitative treatment plan. The clinical construct will be described and a case report will be presented to demonstrate this unique model. Case Report: A combat veteran with a history of a gunshot wound to the skull, blunt force head trauma and exposure to multiple explosions presented with complaints of difficulty reading and recent onset dizziness. After thorough evaluation in the COB, the patient was diagnosed with and treated for severe oculomotor dysfunction and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Conclusion: Vision therapy was able to provide a successful outcome via improvement of oculomotor efficiency and control. Physical therapy intervention was able to address the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The specific evaluation and management as pertains to the aforementioned diagnoses, as well as the importance of an interprofessional rehabilitative approach, will be outlined.
