ABSTRACT
Postoperative vertigo can occur after stapes surgery in approximately 5% of the patients, which more commonly presents immediately after surgery rather than in the delayed period. Isolated delayed vertigo after stapes surgery is commonly related to perilymphatic fistula. Herein we report a 36-year-old female patient who developed positional vertigo 18 days after stapes surgery demonstrating severe geotropic horizontal positional nystagmus on both sides during supine roll test. This patient was eventually diagnosed as the horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) on the left side. This is a rare case of delayed vertigo following stapes surgery caused by BPPV rather than perilymphatic fistula.
