Life after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: one-year analysis of recurrence, headaches, neck pain, falls, and functional vestibular symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) causes recurring episodes of vertigo, and despite initial symptom resolution, many patients experience relapses and other complications such as migraines, neck pain, and falls after discharge.
- This study observed 124 patients with BPPV and found that 70.97% of them reported new symptoms post-treatment, with prior neck pain, headaches, and migraines being significant predictors for future issues.
- Key findings highlight that low vitamin D levels may increase recurrence risk, and the relationship between anxiety and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) suggests that BPPV is often accompanied by lingering symptoms despite the absence of nystagmus.
Clinical practice guideline on the management of vestibular schwannoma.

Article Synopsis
- - Vestibular schwannoma (VS), the most common tumor in the cerebellopontine angle, often leads to challenging treatment decisions among observation, surgery, or radiotherapy based on patient-specific factors including age and symptoms.
- - A comprehensive literature review was conducted to create a clinical guide addressing frequently asked questions by clinicians regarding VS, with input from a panel of experts from the SEORL-CCC.
- - The resulting clinical practice guideline summarizes the 13 most debated topics related to VS management, presenting answers to 50 key questions, though it notes that the levels of evidence are mostly medium or low due to a lack of sufficient prospective studies.
(1) Background. Patients with bilateral vestibular disease (BVD) experience oscillopsia with a detriment to visual acuity (VA). This VA is driven mainly by the VOR that has two components: rotational and translational.

Objective: To describe those patients suffering from EVS in whom defined etiologies have been ruled out in order to determine if their symptoms can be linked to VM.
Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter study.
Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM) consists of recurrent episodes of vestibular symptoms that are accompanied by migraine in at least 50% of the episodes. The criteria of the Bárány Society include two diagnostic categories: "actual" vestibular migraine and probable vestibular migraine. There is a wide range of drugs that can be prescribed for the prophylactic treatment of VM, but recommendations for the selection of the most appropriate drug are currently lacking.
