BPPV Self Treatment: The Appiani Gufoni Maneuver for Lateral Canal Canalithialsis BPPV

Описание к видео BPPV Self Treatment: The Appiani Gufoni Maneuver for Lateral Canal Canalithialsis BPPV

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common disorders causing dizziness. It is characterized by recurrent brief episodes of vertigo that are triggered by changes in head position and caused by free-floating otoliths (canalithiasis) or otoliths that have adhered to the cupula (cupulolithiasis) within any of the three semicircular canals.
The Gufoni maneuver was designed to remove the otolithic debris from the anterior arm of the semicircular canal near the cupula by means of the inertial detachment of otoliths caused by the brisk deceleration of the head and their migration toward the utricle or the canal.
