“…It is important to note that BPPV can be correctly treated with the right canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) [ 11 ]. BPPV is also a major cause of mental stress in patients, increases the individual’s balance, and jeopardizes the patient’s health [ 12 - 14 ].…”

Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a debilitating condition. BPPV is a peripheral vestibular disorder, and people with this condition experience varying levels of dizziness. BPPV, in most patients, is often overlooked as vertigo and dizziness may be triggered by an underlying chronic disease and disorder. Patients may be misdiagnosed or have delayed diagnosis, resulting in unnecessary health procedures. In this study, we present two cases of BPPV in a 29-year-old female and a 32-year-old male, who presented initially with fracture of the angle of left mandibles, which were treated surgically. Both patients developed BPPV secondary to head trauma leading to mandibular fracture. It is important to diagnose and treat BPPV early to prevent long-term disability.

Objective To analyze recovery from dizziness in patients with acute vestibular neuritis (AVN) after applying the “Dizziness & Fall Risk Assessment and Intervention (DFRAI)”. Methods This prospective study involved patients with AVN who underwent a survey of dizziness and fall risk. The patients received medical treatment and customized vestibular rehabilitation, and vestibular function was evaluated at the initial attack and 3 months later. Results Forty-one patients underwent subjective questionnaire assessments, which showed significant improvement in visual analog scale-dizziness handicap inventory-fear of falling (VAS-DHI-FOF) results from the initial vertigo attack to 3 months later. In the sensory organization test (SOT), the initial composite score was 63 ± 13.1, which improved to 77.5 ± 4.9 3 months later. In caloric testing, the canal paresis (CP) score was 42.9 ± 35.2, which improved to 29.9 ± 23.5 3 months later. Conclusions Subjective improvement in dizziness and objective recovery of vestibular function were confirmed. DFRAI is a comprehensive solution for dizziness, and appropriate application of the DFRAI is expected to have a positive effect on recovery from dizziness and fall prevention in patients with AVN.

“…Some vestibular disorders cause episodic vertigo such as BPPV, vestibular migraine, and Meniere's disease. The vertigo attacks interfere with functional performance in life [5]. ADLs are the essential activities that people do routinely and independently in their daily life, for example, dressing and bathing [6].…”

Background Activities of daily living (ADLs) are activities oriented toward taking care of one’s own body independently. Vestibular Disorder Activities of Daily Living Scale (VADL) includes 28 questions designed to specifically assess the effects of different vestibular disorders on activities of daily living and assess the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of VADL and applying it to assess severity of the attacks related to most common episodic vestibular disorders. The Arabic version of VADL was distributed to 52 participants, recruiting two participants per question. The participants filled up the Arabic version of VADL scale, in-between and during the vertigo episodes. Results All participants have been diagnosed as having one of these vestibular disorders benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular migraine, and Meniere’s disease. The reliability analysis was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha score, and it was 0.980, indicating high reliability. There was a positive correlation between the VADL scores during and in between the attacks of vertigo for the three diseases (p = 0.03). There was a statistical difference between the three disorders during and in between the attacks (p-value during the attack < 0.0001, p-value in between the attacks = 0.046). Meniere’s disease had the most negative impacts on daily activities performance, followed by BPPV, and vestibular migraine had the least effect. There was statistically significant correlation between VADL and visual analog scale (VAS) during and in between the attacks (Pearson correlation 0.74, p < 0.0001). Conclusion The Arabic version of VADL scale has high validity and an excellent reliability among our demographic population. Meniere’s disease has the worst impact on patients’ performance in activities of daily living compared to BPPV and vestibular migraine.
