Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common peripheral vestibular disorder encountered in otolaryngology clinics. It is associated with a characteristic paroxysmal positional nystagmus, which can be diagnosed with specific positional manoeuvres, such as the Dix-Hallpike test. It is usually not recognised by general practitioners and as such is diagnosed late. There is a long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis, often with multiple healthcare contacts. Objective: to evaluate the relationship between age, gender and affected ear, in patients presenting with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational study was conducted among patients attending the Department of ENT, Krishna Rajendra Hospital, Mysore Medical college and research institute, Mysore, for a period of one year from June 2020 to June 2021. A total of 50 patients were included and analysed for demographic data, age, gender, affected ear and efficacy of epley's manoeuvre in treating posterior canal BPPV. Results: females are more prone to BPPV seen frequently in middle age with right ear being more commonly seen. Resolution of symptoms were observed in maximum cases subjected to epley's manoeuvre within one week follow up. Conclusion: Dix Hallpike manoeuvre is the specific test to diagnose BPPV. Treatment of posterior canal BPPV is simple and cost effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
