We lately reported the cases of patients complaining positional vertigo whose nystagmic pattern was that of a peripheral torsional vertical positional down beating nystagmus originating from a lithiasis of the non-ampullary arm of the posterior semicircular canal (PSC). We considered this particular pathological picture the apogeotropic variant of PSC benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Since the description of the pilot cases we observed more than 150 patients showing the same clinical sign and course of symptoms. In this paper we describe, in detail, both nystagmus of apogeotropic PSC BPPV (A-PSC BPPV) and symptoms reported by patients trying to give a reasonable explanation for these clinical features. Moreover we developed two specific physical therapies directed to cure A-PSC BPPV. Preliminary results of these techniques are related.
我们最近报告了一些主诉体位性眩晕的患者病例,其眼震模式为外周扭转性垂直向下跳动性眼震,起源于后半规管(PSC)非壶腹臂的结石。我们认为这种特殊的病理表现是PSC良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)的背地性变体。自从报告了这些初步病例以来,我们又观察了150多名表现出相同临床体征和症状过程的患者。在本文中,我们详细描述了背地性PSC BPPV(A-PSC BPPV)的眼震以及患者报告的症状,试图对这些临床特征做出合理的解释。此外,我们开发了两种针对A-PSC BPPV的特定物理治疗方法。文中还介绍了这些技术的初步结果。
