Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

There are many common diseases in life. The symptoms, causes and treatments of different diseases are very different. Therefore, when treating a disease, we need to have a good understanding of the disease. In this way, when treating the disease, we will know what method is the best. So what is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo? Many people don’t know much about this issue.

When benign paroxysmal positional vertigo occurs, it must be treated promptly, otherwise it will cause great harm to your health. Moreover, when this type of problem occurs, the common treatment method is medication, which can improve the problem.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo:

Causes

1. The otoliths may fall off from the utricle due to spontaneous degeneration of the utricle and deposit on the posterior ampullary ridge.

2. Inflammation or trauma can also induce this disease. For example, during viral labyrinthitis or chronic suppurative otitis media, white blood cells, macrophages or endothelial cells enter the endolymph; after brain trauma or stapes surgery, blood enters the endolymph, forming tangible particles that are deposited on the top of the ampulla ridge.

3. Pathological findings showed that the utricle, superior semicircular canal and lateral semicircular canal distributed by the anterior vestibular artery and superior vestibular nerve branches were degenerated, while the saccule and posterior semicircular canal were normal. Therefore, it is believed that hypertension, heart disease and insufficient blood supply to the vertebral basilar artery can cause embolism of the anterior vestibular artery, leading to degeneration and shedding of the otolith membrane and deposition on the ampullary ridge.

4. Gammaglobulinemia, globulin deposition on the ampulla crista, or alcohol thinning of the ampulla crista in alcoholics, can both produce this syndrome. When severely deaf children wear high-intensity (120-130dB) hearing aids, about half of them experience positional vertigo.

Through the above introduction, the cause of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is explained in detail, so when such a situation occurs, you can improve it according to the above methods, which is also very helpful for disease control. In the process of treating this type of disease, the patient also needs to remain emotionally stable, which is also something to pay attention to.
