ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de un paciente joven quien presenta 4 a 5 crisis diarias de vértigo espontáneo de segundos de duración, todos o casi todos los días desde hace 9 meses. Estas crisis no tienen gatillo posicional, y hay completa ausencia de sintomatologia entre crisis. Como discutimos en el artículo, este cuadro coíncide con los recientemente publicados criterios para una paroxismia vestibular, entidad supuestamente secundaria a la compresión neurovascular del nervio vestibular. El paciente respondió de forma inmediata y completa a carbamazepina a dosis bajas, el tratamiento de elección en la paroxismia vestibular.


We present the case of a young patient, with a 9-month long history of 4 to 5 daily spells of spontaneous vertigo, each lasting only seconds. There is no positional trigger, and there is a complete lack of symptoms between attacks. As is discussed in the article, this matches the recently published criteria for Vestibular Paroxysmia, an entity allegedly secondary to neurovascular compression of the vestibular nerve. The patient responded immediately and completely to carbamazepine at low dosage, the preferred treatment for vestibular paroxysmia.
