¸ñÀû: Studies about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using the
video head impulse test (vHIT) are insufficient, and their results
are
controversial. In this study, gain in the vestibulo-ocular reflex
(VOR)
of vHIT in patients with BPPV was analyzed. ¹æ¹ý:Patients with BPPV who underwent vHIT from January 2019 to August
2022
were included in this study retrospectively. VOR gains of vHIT were
compared between ipsilesional and contralesional semicircular
canals. °á°ú:A total of 78 patients with BPPV was enrolled. For the involved
semicircular canal, 51 cases involved the posterior semicircular
canal, while 18 patients had lateral semicircular canal
canalolithiasis, and nine had lateral semicircular canal
cupulolithiasis. In total, the VOR gain in the ipsilesional
semicircular canal (0.99 ¡¾ 0.20) was lower than that in the
contralesional semicircular canal (1.04 ¡¾ 0.24) (P = 0.069). For
posterior semicircular canal BPPV, the VOR gain in the ipsilesional
semicircular canal (0.96 ¡¾ 0.21) was significantly lower than that in
the contralesional semicircular canal (1.04 ¡¾ 0.27) (P = 0.042). For
lateral semicircular canal canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis BPPV,
there were no significant differences in VOR gain between the
ipsilesional (1.09 ¡¾ 0.13 and 0.97 ¡¾ 0.16, respectively) and
contralesional semicircular canals (1.06 ¡¾ 0.19 and 1.00 ¡¾ 0.14,
respectively) (P = 0.679 and 0.374, respectively). °á·Ð:The VOR gains of vHIT in the ipsilesional semicircular canals
were
within normal limit in patients with BPPV. However, the VOR gain
in
the ipsilesional semicircular canal was significantly lower than
that
in the contralesional semicircular canal in patients with
posterior
semicircular canal BPPV. |
