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.
良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)是一种外周前庭系统的机械性病症。其特征为反复发作的短暂性眩晕发作,由从椭圆囊脱落并移入半规管的碳酸钙晶体引起。在本病例报告中,一名33岁女性因头部运动时出现颈部疼痛和头晕前来就诊,经过全面评估(包括详细病史、评估和检查)后被诊断为BPPV。Dix-Hallpike试验右侧呈阳性。随后该患者接受了耳石复位手法(CRM)和传统物理治疗。疼痛减轻,活动范围改善,眩晕的持续时间和频率降低。因此,可以得出结论,应用CRM或Epley手法可减少眩晕的持续时间和频率,并改善生活质量。
