Despite the high success rate of canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRMs) in the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a growing number of patients report residual dizziness symptoms that may last for a significant time. Although the majority of BPPV cases can be explained by canalolithiasis, the etiology is complex. Consideration of the individual patient's history and underlying pathophysiology of BPPV may offer the potential for treatment approaches supplementary to CRMs, as well as a promising alternative for patients in whom CRMs are contraindicated. This article provides a summary of the possible underlying causes of BPPV and residual dizziness, along with suggestions for potential management options that may be considered to relieve the burden of residual symptoms.

Increased parietal operculum functional connectivity following vestibular rehabilitation in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients with residual dizziness: a randomized controlled resting-state fMRI study.

Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, No. 32, Meijian Road, Quanshan District, Xuzhou, 221006, Jiangsu, China.
Introduction: Residual dizziness (RD) is common in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after successful canalith repositioning procedures. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of vestibular rehabilitation (VR) on BPPV patients experiencing RD, and to explore the impact of VR on functional connectivity (FC), specifically focusing on the bilateral parietal operculum (OP) cortex.
Methods: Seventy patients with RD were randomly assigned to either a four-week VR group or a control group that received no treatment.

Objective: To explore alterations in functional connectivity (FC) focusing on hippocampal subfields in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients with residual dizziness (RD) after successful canalith repositioning procedure (CRP).
Methods: We conducted resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 95 BPPV patients, comprising 50 patients with RD and 45 without. Seed-to-voxel and seed-to-seed analyses were employed to examine changes in FC between the two groups.

Article Synopsis
- * Key findings highlighted that bilateral canal involvement and presenting 72 hours after vertigo onset significantly increased the risk of residual symptoms.
- * The research emphasizes the effectiveness of canalith repositioning maneuvers and suggests a follow-up after one week, particularly for those with more complex cases of BPPV, to better manage the condition.

Article Synopsis
- TAAD is a severe condition often complicated by CM, which can cause significant neurological damage; CPB and ACP are traditional methods used for cerebral protection during surgery but carry higher risks.
- This study investigates a new off-pump technique using an axillo-axillary shunt to maintain continuous blood flow to the brain during aortic arch surgery for patients with TAAD and CM.
- Results show that this innovative technique provided stable cerebral perfusion without new permanent neurological issues; however, some patients experienced temporary symptoms, and there was a low operative mortality rate of 5.6%.
