Multinodular Goiter, a Cause of Positional Vertigo

Abstract

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a common cause of dizziness. We report a 60 year old patient with history of vertiginous episodes when she turns her head to the right sides. She was found to have a large thyroid with suprahyoid extension. The thyroid mass was pressing on the carotid while turning her neck to the right causing vertigo. Her symptoms completely resolved following right hemi-thyroidectomy. Review of literature discussed.
