Abstract: Objective

To study the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) associated with Meniere′s disease (MD).

Method

A total of 256 patients with BPPV were enrolled in the study, of which 32 patients with secondary BPPV were excluded. Out of the remaining 224 patients, 28 patients having BPPV associated with MD were included in the trial group and 196 patients with no adjunctive problem associated with BPPV (idiopathic) were included in the control group. All the patients were diagnosed using the Dix-Hallpike positional test and were treated with canalith repositioning procedure (CRP). The age, sex, site of involvement, type of BPPV, duration of symptoms, and treatment outcomes were compared.

Results

The clinical manifestations of BPPV were seen more commonly among the females in the trial group. (P<0.05). Involvement of the lateral canal of the ear was more common in patients in the trial group (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the average age and in right and left ear involvement between groups. BPPV was ipsilateral to the ear with MD in 75% of patients and MD was present before the diagnosis of BPPV in all patients. Comparative analyses of the cure rate of both groups after 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month were significant (P<0.01, P<0.05, P<0.05 respectively).

Conclusion

The clinical features and therapeutic outcomes of MD-associated BPPV differ from those of idiopathic BPPV. MD-associated BPPV was found to be more frequent in females and the lateral canal involvement was higher in most patients. Patients were already affected by MD before the development of BPPV. This disease may follow a different clinical course and respond less effectively to CRP treatment.
