Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo as a complication of osteotome expansion of the maxillary alveolar ridge.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular end organ disorder characterized by short, often recurrent episodes of vertigo that are triggered by certain head movements in the plane of the posterior semicircular canals. BPPV may be idiopathic or secondary to a number of underlying conditions such as head injury, viral labyrinthitis, stapes surgery, and chronic suppurative otitis media. 1,2 The most commonly accepted theory postulates the development of BPPV as a result of canalolithiasis, 3 heavy, inorganic particles detached from the otoconial layer by degeneration or head trauma gravitate into the posterior semicircular canal and act as a plunger on the endolymph and…
[Peripheral vertigo classification. Consensus document. Otoneurology committee of the Spanish otorhinolaryngology society (2003-2006)].
There are many different vertigo classifications and different denominations are frequently used for the same clinical processes. The Otoneurology Committee of the Spanish Society for Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Pathology proposes an eminently practical classification of peripheral vertigo to facilitate a common terminology that can be easily used by the general ENT practitioners. The methodology used has been by consensus within our Society and especially among the most outstanding work groups in the area of otoneurology in Spain. Initially vertigo is divided into single-episode vertigo and recurring attacks of vertigo, and these are then sub-divided into 2 groups, depending on w…
Clasificación de los vértigos periféricos. Documento de Consenso de la Comisión de Otoneurología de la Sociedad Española de Otorrinolaringología (2003-2006)
El vertigo puede ser clasificado de muchas formas y es frecuente que existan diferentes denominaciones para los mismos cuadros clinicos. Por este motivo la Comision de Otoneurologia de la Sociedad Espanola de Otorrinolaringologia y Patologia Cervico-Facial ha propuesto una clasificacion clinica de los vertigos perifericos eminentemente practica y al alcance del otorrinolaringologo general, que facilite el uso de un lenguaje comun. La metodologia utilizada ha sido procurar el consenso en el ambito de nuestra sociedad y especialmente de los grupos de trabajo mas destacados en el ambito de la otoneurologia en Espana. La clasificacion inicial divide la patologia en vertigos de crisis unica y ve…
