Abstract

Benign
paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a peripheral vestibular disease that
occurs by sudden head movements and is characterized by dizziness that lasts
for seconds. Endolymphatic hydrops is a vestibular pathology that causes
hearing loss, tinnitus, fullness in the ear and dizziness due to increased
endolymphatic pressure in the inner ear. Although BPPV and endolymphatic
hydrops are considered as two different entities, it has recently been reported
that there may be a relationship between these two diseases. However, the
pathophysiology of this relationship has not been clearly elucidated. In this
paper, we discussed the relationship between these two diseases accompanied by
a patient with a sudden onset of endolymphatic hydrops and BPPV which was
treated with repositioning maneuver.

Repozisyon manevrası ile tedavi edilen endolenfatik hidrops ve benign paroksismal pozisyonel vertigo birlikteliği: Bir olgu sunumu

Abstract

Benign
paroksismal pozisyonel vertigo (BPPV), ani baş hareketleriyle ortaya çıkan ve
saniyeler süren baş dönmesiyle karakterize periferik vestibüler bir
hastalıktır. Endolenfatik hidrops ise iç kulakta endolenfatik basıncın
artmasına bağlı olarak işitme kaybına, kulak çınlamasına, kulakta dolgunluk
hissine ve baş dönmesine neden olan vestibüler bir patolojidir. BPPV ve
endolenfatik hidrops iki farklı antite olarak düşünülse de, son zamanlarda bu
iki hastalık arasında bir ilişki olabileceği bildirilmiştir. Ancak bilgimiz
dahilinde, literatürde repozisyon manevrası ile endolenfatik hidrops
bulgularının düzeldiği bir olguya rastlanmamıştır. Biz bu yazıda, repozisyon
manevrası ile düzelen ani gelişmiş endolenfatik hidrops ve BPPV birlikteliği
olan bir olgu eşliğinde bu iki hastalık arasındaki ilişkiyi tartıştık.
