Anterior canal BPPV is said to be a rare case of BPPV. We tried to document the diagnosis and treatment of our patients in our Praxis.
5 patietns (2 men and 3 women) with symptoms of BPPV and positional downbeating nystagmus were included. The diagnosis was based on brief episodes of vertigo and the presence of positional downbeating nystagmus on the head hanging position (Yacovino et al, 2009). Patients were treated by particle repositioning maneuver. The treatment was repeated as needed.
Of the 5 patients 2 were treated after the first session, 1 after the second session and 2 after the third. On a 30-day follow up none had any symptoms or even nysagmus on positional testing.
In our Praxis we had good results in treating anterior canal BPPV with "deep head hanging maneuver" (Yacovino et al, 2009).
