Abstract

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder, and the symptoms are well controlled by physical maneuvers. However, some patients suffer relapse. We examined the prognosis of BPPV after the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP). CRP was effective in about 95.1%, but 13% relapsed. All relapsed cases were women aged over 40 years, however, no factor responsible for the relapse was identified. Disturbance of Ca metabolism in the otoconia due to aging or menopause may be involved in the relapse. CRP is effective, but we must always be aware of the possibility of relapse.
