Abstract:
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical condition of the peripheral vestibular system. It is characterized by recurrent, short-lived episodes of vertigo caused by calcium carbonate crystals that get dislodged from the utricle and move into the semicircular canals. In this case report, a 33-year-old female presenting with complaints of neck pain and dizziness upon head movement was diagnosed with BPPV following a comprehensive evaluation, which included a thorough history, assessment, and investigations. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver was positive on the right side. The patient was then treated with canalith repositioning manuever (CRM) and conventional physiotherapy. There was a reduction in pain, improvement in range of motion, and reduction in the duration and frequency of vertigo. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of CRM or Epley\'s maneuver decreases the duration and frequency of vertigo and improves quality of life.
摘要:
良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)是周围前庭系统的机械状况。它的特点是经常性的,由碳酸钙晶体引起的短暂眩晕发作,这些晶体从动脉脱落并进入半规管。在这个案例报告中,一名33岁女性在头部运动时出现颈部疼痛和头晕的主诉,经综合评估后被诊断为BPPV,其中包括详尽的历史,评估,和调查。Dix-Hallpike动作在右侧是积极的。然后,患者接受了耳石重新定位手册(CRM)和常规物理治疗。疼痛减轻了,运动范围的改善,减少眩晕的持续时间和频率。因此,可以得出结论,CRM或Epley动作的应用减少了眩晕的持续时间和频率,并提高了生活质量。
