Acute Sensorineural Hearing Loss with Simultaneous Ipsilateral Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature / 대한평형의학회지

ABSTRACT

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) originating from the posterior semicircular canal (pSCC) is a common vestibular disorder. Advanced age, head or ear trauma, other inner ear disorders, female sex and osteopenia/osteoporosis are known predisposing factors for pSCC BPPV. An association with simultaneous ipsilateral sudden deafness remains to be elucidated. We report a 62-year old woman with sudden deafness and simultaneous ipsilateral pSCC BPPV.
