Treatment of Horizontal Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A New Rehabilitation Technique by D. Testa, G. Castaldo, C. De Santis, A. Trusio, G. Motta

“…The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technical variant applied to the Gufoni's manoeuvre, in the treatment of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV). 87 patients with BPPV of HSC (55 women and 32 men), aged between 21 and 80 years, were randomized either to modified Gufoni's manoeuvre or to the Gufoni's manoeuvre. 93% of patients treated with modified Gufoni's manoeuvre was cured after the first treatment session, of which only 2% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV, while the Gufoni's manoeuvre led to a symptoms resolution in 88% of cases, of which 16% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV. …”

The vagal rhizopathies by Christopher R. Honey

“…Both are caused by direct compression of the root of the tenth cranial nerve at the brainstem by a blood vessel and can be cured by microvascular decompression (MVD). Since the symptoms of choking and cough are common and blood vessels are often abutting the vagus nerve at the brainstem, it is vitally important to understand the definitive diagnostic protocol to avoid operating on false positives. …”
