Abstract
|
|
|
A fourty-year-old housewife was admitted to the Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat from the emergency room, because of severe vertigo associated with positional changes of the head.
Hallpike maneuver produced typical patterns of bilateral nystagmus consistent with bening paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and further geotropic rotatory nystagmus with positional change of the head in each direction. Direction of nystagmus
reversed when the patients was repositionsed upright.
Particle repositioning maneuver was administered to her left ear but failed to relieve the severe dizziness associated with the head turning to the right.
She was then referred to the patient received 27 SGB treatments and the patients was almost completely healed.
It is unusual for the BPPV to occur bilaterally therefore reference concerning the effectiveness of SGB for the treatment of BPPV was difficult to obtain.
In conclusion we would like to report the successful treatment of BPPV with SGB.
