Possible Pathomechanisms Underlying a Spontaneous Reversal of Positional Nystagmus in PSC - BPPV
The interview with Dr. Andrea Castellucci delves into the phenomenon of Reversing Positional Nystagmus (RPN)—a spontaneous reversal of nystagmus direction in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Dr. Castellucci provides insights into how this phenomenon commonly occurs in the lateral semicircular canal variant (LSC-BPPV) and, less frequently, in the posterior semicircular canal (PSC-BPPV).The discussion focuses on:•Pathomechanisms potentially explaining RPN, including peripheral short-term adaptations of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) or the hypothesis of simultaneous lithiasis in both ampullary and non-ampullary canal arms.•The pivotal role of the video head impulse test (vHIT) in diagnosing and guiding physical therapy for complex BPPV cases associated with RPN.•The therapeutic challenges in managing BPPV with RPN, particularly the need for repeated canalith repositioning maneuvers.This interview offers a comprehensive overview of RPN, combining theoretical explanations and practical insights, while emphasizing the importance of advanced diagnostic tools in effectively managing these complex conditions.
