Abstract:
To explore the characteristics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and examine the efficacy of Canalith repositioning in elders.A retrospective study was carried out among 47 BPPV cases at our hospital from January 2011 to June 2012.Posterior semicircular canal received Epley maneuver (n =35) and Lempert rolling for horizontal semicircular canal (n =12).Curative effect was evaluated after 1 week and 3 months.After Canalith repositioning,the initial success rate was 91.5％ (43/47) and the effective rate 8.5％ (4/47).After 1 week,the success rate was 100％.Nine patients (19.1％) had recurrence in the same canal previously affected,and all improved with a new repositioning maneuver.Canalith repositioning is both safe and effective in the treatment of BPPV.
