| dc.description.abstract | Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a peripheral vestibular dysfunction which represents about 70% of vestibular pathology presented at ENT clinics. However, a variety of first treatment approaches are reported among clinicians. Case report: We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented vertigo which worsened with head movement to the left. The patient reported dizziness and migraine over the previous three days. Audiological testing revealed normal hearing, but under postural examination the Dix-Hallpike manoeuver was positive to BPPV of the left posterior canal. The patient was treated with a single Epley manoeuver. Conclusions: After the Epley manoeuver the patient had no further symptoms of vertigo or dizziness. The Dix-Hallpike manoeuver was effective as a differential diagnosis. The Epley manoeuver was successful in a case in which canalithiasis was believed to be the cause of the vertigo. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | El vértigo postural paroxístico benigno (inglés: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, BPPV) es una disfunción de la porción periférica del sistema vestibular, la cual constituye un 70% de los trastornos vestibulares observados en clínicas otorrinolaringológicas. Los clinicistas describen sin embargo varios enfoques distintos con respecto a su tratamiento temprano. Estudio del caso: En el presente trabajo se presenta el caso de una mujer de 39 años con síntomas de vértigo que se intensificaban al mover la cabeza hacia el lado izquierdo. La paciente se quejaba de una sensación subjetiva de mareo y migrañas durante tres días previos a la consulta. Las pruebas audiológicas demostraron una audición normal, sin embargo el test de pruebas posturales demostró la maniobra de Dix-Hallpike positiva, lo cual confirmó el vértigo postural benigno del canal semivestibular posterior del lado izquierdo. La paciente fue curada con una maniobra única de Epley. Conclusiones: Tras aplicar la maniobra de Epley, en la paciente no se observaban más síntomas de vértigo o sensaciones de mareo. La maniobra de Dix-Hallpike proporciona un diagnóstico diferencial eficaz en casos donde como la causa del vértigo se indica el fenómeno de canalolithiasis. | pt_PT |
