“…BPPV is known to affect all age groups, though it appears to be more common in the elderlyin 5 th to 7 th decade of life and rarely seen in children. In our study, the mean age of the participants was 48 yearswith standard deviation of 13 with maximum number of patients in the age group of 51 to 60 years correlating with that in literature [1,5,7]. In present study the sex distribution indicates a predilection for women which is similar to other studies [1,7].…”

Introduction: BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo provoked by certain head position changes. Despite being the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, BPPV is still often misdiagnosed hence it is important to understand BPPV not only because it may avert expensive and often unnecessary investigations, but also because treatment by particle reposition maneuvers is rapid, easy and effective in more than 90% of cases. Objectives: 1) To analyze the etiological, clinical and prognostic differences between patients affected by BPPV. 2) To evaluate the efficacy of different PRM in the treatment of BPPV and to compare the results of present study with similar studies done elsewhere. Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted at Department of ENT, Subbaiah institute of medical sciences, Shimoga from August 2015 to August 2018 in 40 patients with a clinical diagnosis of BPPV. All these patients were treated by different PRM specific for the canal involved and the results were analyzed. Results: Right labyrinth was involved in 23 cases (57.5%) and left in 17 (42.5%) cases. PC was involved in 34 (85%) cases and Eply's maneuver was successful in all 34 (100%) patients. HC was involved in 6 (15%) cases which were treated with Barbecue and Gufoni maneuver with resolution in 5 (83.33%) patients. Conclusion: Therapeutic maneuvers are effective in treatment of BPPV that have shown high success rate hence should be tried in all patients with BPPV unless contraindicated to reduce unnecessary diagnostic tests and costs.

“…BPPV is known to affect all age groups, though it appears to be more common in the elderly in 5th to 7th decade of life and rarely seen in children. In our study, the mean age of the participants was 46 year with maximum number of patients in the age group of 41 to 50 years 10,11,12 (26.67%) contrary to the literature. The reason for younger age in our study may be due to younger patients are seeking more medical help.…”

Background: - Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of vertigo. The diagnosis is often delayed and patients are unnecessarily investigated and treated with drugs. Aim: To analyze the patient profile, duration of symptoms, etiology, associated co-morbidities, type of canal involvement and response to CRP in cases of BPPV. Material & Methods: The present prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care centre from January 2015 to December 2016 in 90 patients with a clinical diagnosis of BPPV. Patient particular and disease specific data were recorded in preset profoma and analyzed. All these patients were treated by different CRP specific for the canal involved. All cases were reassessed for post procedural response. Results: Total 90 patients were included in the study with age range of 20 to 76 year. Mean age was 46.74. Maximum patients (26.67%) were in the age range of 41-50 year with male: female was 1:1.43. The duration of symptoms was in from 2 days to more than 3 years. Most common morbidity was diabetes and most common cause was Idiopathic (82.22%). Most of these patients presented with positional vertigo (94.44%). Right posterior canal was involved in 52 cases (57.78%) and left in 30 (33.33%) cases. Conclusion: BPPV is a common cause of vertigo. More awareness needed about its symptoms, early application of Dix-Hallpike test and Epley’s procedure to reduce the suffering of patients and to reduce unnecessary diagnostic tests and costs.

“…The treatment modalities of BPPV include follow-up of the patient, vestibulosuppressant medication, vestibular rehabilitation, repositioning maneuvers, and surgery [45]. Recent evidence supports that the repositioning maneuvers may effectively help in eliminating the vertigo due to BPPV, reducing the risks of falling, and improving the quality of life [44].…”

Challenging Issues on Paranasal Sinuses

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dental implant rehabilitation of the posterior maxillary region has always been a challenging issue due to both alveolar ridge atrophy and sinus pneumatization. Maxillary sinus augmentation is a well-known and predictable procedure in vertical deficiencies of the posterior maxilla. To date, various techniques have been described based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair to obtain better outcomes. Nevertheless, these procedures could also be associated with several intra-and postoperative complications such as perforation of the sinus membrane, hemorrhage, infection, graft resorption, and loss of the graft or implants. The aim of this chapter is to review the contemporary methods for maxillary sinus augmentation and to present both recommendations for prevention and management of the associated complications.
