Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following whiplash injury: a myth or a reality?

2011

Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the true incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) arising after whiplash injury and to distinguish this type of posttraumatic vertigo from other types of dizziness complained after trauma. Methods This was a retrospective study comprising patients referred to our center after whiplash injury. The patients were evaluated with neurotologic examination including bedside and instrumental tests. A Dizziness Handicap Inventory evaluating the symptoms of patients was submitted before and after treatment and was evaluated. The BPPV patients were separately evaluated from those with cervicogenic vertigo…

Are postural restrictions necessary for management of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo?

2011

Objectives: An important component of management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has been the application of postural restrictions after use of a canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) to prevent the return of otolithic debris into the posterior semicircular canal (PSC). This study was designed to explore the effectiveness of postural restrictions in patients with BPPV caused by otolithic debris in the PSC. Methods: Seventy-four adult patients with unilateral PSC BPPV were enrolled into this study. All patients were managed with a CRM — Either the modified Epley maneuver or the Semont maneuver. The patients were divided randomly into 2 groups: Group A, with postural restrictio…

Features of biopsy in diagnosis of metatypical basal cell carcinoma (Basosquamous Carcinoma) of head and neck

2012

Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma, also known as Basosquamous Carcinoma is a subtype of Basal Cell Carcinoma. It is similar to Basal Cell Carcinoma for the gross aspect and regional recurrences, but it has the capacity to spread and develop metastasis. This terrible characteristic endangers the life of the patient if it is not readily recognized by the physicians. Herein we present a report of two patients affected by BSC originating in the nasal region and external ear that after a series of devastating local recurrences metastasized to the lung and bones in one case. The true incidence of Basoquamous Carcinoma may be higher, with underreporting arising because of rarity of diagnosis and la…
