We report a case of non-traumatic, multicanal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in a premenopausal, osteopenic 35-year-old female with corresponding low bone mineral density. Dix-Hallpike and supine roll tests confirmed unilateral posterior canal (PC) BPPV from 2012-2014, and later, a rare presentation of multicanal BPPV with specifically ipsilateral horizontal canals (HC) and anterior canals (AC) affected in 2015. Heel scans displayed T-scores within the osteopenia range in 2012 until levels normalized one year later. Despite treatment with indicated canalith repositioning treatments (CRTs), symptoms continued to persist. Complete resolution of symptoms occurred in 2016, which is most likely due to self-treatment with daily 5000 IU vitamin D in 2015. This case emphasizes the rare presentation of unilateral single-canal BPPV to multi-canal BPPV, along with the importance of vitamin D treatment in preventing the recurrence of symptoms.
我们报告了一例非创伤性多管良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)病例,患者为一名35岁绝经前骨质疏松女性,骨矿物质密度相应较低。Dix-Hallpike试验和仰卧翻滚试验在2012年至2014年确诊为单侧后半规管(PC)BPPV,后来在2015年出现了罕见的多管BPPV表现,具体为同侧水平半规管(HC)和前半规管(AC)受累。足跟扫描显示2012年T值处于骨质减少范围,直到一年后水平恢复正常。尽管采用了指定的耳石复位治疗(CRT),症状仍持续存在。症状在2016年完全缓解,这很可能是由于患者在2015年自行每日服用5000 IU维生素D。该病例强调了从单侧单管BPPV到多管BPPV的罕见表现,以及维生素D治疗在预防症状复发中的重要性。
