ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo, el estudio de la semiótica observada por el compromiso canicular en el cuadro del VPPB, su correlación anatómica y etiopatogénica, permitiendo entender la lógica de cada etapa postulada en el manejo kinésico de este cuadro. Para concretar este objetivo, fue creado el policlínico de vértigo en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile Dr José Joaquín Aguirre, con 3 horas semanales, destinado a absorver la demanda espontánea y derivada por patología vertiginosa, seleccionando para nuestro estudio sólo los de origen postural periférico, aplicándoles un protocolo diseñado por los autores del trabajo, que incluyen anamnesis del episodio actual, antecedentes y examen físico otorrinolaringológico, maniobras de provocación para canales semicirculares verticales y horizontales hipótesis diagnóstica y tratamiento propuesto con maniobras kinésicas según canal identificado

ABSTRACT

Background: Paroxysmal positional vertigo is a frequent and handicapping disease. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of physical therapies using particle reposition procedures in the treatment of paroxysmal positional vertigo. Patients and methods: Fifty nine patients (13 male) with paroxysmal positional vertigo were studied. Clinical data was gathered, the affected channel was identified. In the same session, the corresponding canalith reposition procedure was performed (Epley maneuver for posterior channel and Lempert maneuver for lateral channel) and the immediate response was recorded. Results: Twenty seven percent of patients had recurring episodes of vertigo and 60 percent had more than two weeks of evolution. In 49 percent of patients, vertigo was considered idiopathic and in 92 percent, the posterior channel was affected. One patient had a combined lesion of posterior and lateral channels and two patients had isolated lateral channel lesions. Seventy percent of patients recovered after two sessions of canalith reposition procedure. Conclusions: Canalith reposition maneuvers were highly effective for the treatment of paroxysmal positional vertigo
