figure 11–9. continued C. The clinician then assists and guides the patient into right side lying, keeping the neck in 0 degrees of rotation. The patient remains in this position for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the nystag­mus stops. Note, the treatment can be performed by simply rotating the neck 90 degrees, which makes the subsequent position change a bit more involved. D. The patient then rolls over into prone and props up on their elbows. The clinician will support the patient’s head in some flexion to place the horizontal SCC in an earth ver­tical orientation.

this position for 30 to 60 seconds until the nystagmus stops. From this position, the clinician will guide and assist the patient to rotate the entire body to assume a prone-on-elbows position. The patient’s neck remains in neutral relative to rotation but assumes some flex­ion to place the horizontal SCC in an earth vertical orientation (Figure 11–9D). The clinician should take care in the placement of the patient’s hands to ensure appropriate support of the patient’s head. One hand will typically be supporting the patient’s forehead, while the other hand is placed on the patient’s occiput. Again, the patient will remain in this position for 30 to 60 seconds until the nystagmus stops. At this point the patient has completed 270 degrees of rotation, and the canaliths should have exited the horizontal SCC. A patient who is able can get up from this position. There are several methods that can be used: (1) the patient can rise up on hands and knees and rock back to sit on the heels; (2) the patient can rise up on hands and knees, rotate the lower trunk to one side and drop the pelvis to the treatment table, and then sit up from that position; or if mobile, (3) the patient, from the prone-on-elbows position, can rotate the lower trunk so that the pelvis and legs are in essentially a side-lying position, and then push up from the prone-on-elbows position. The other, and often simpler, alternative is to have the patient rotate the entire body another 90 degrees into the side-lying position (to complete 360 degrees of rotation; Figure 11–9E), and then sit up from that position.
Regardless of the method used to get the patient into a seated position, the provider should maintain contact with the patient once sitting, just in case the patient develops vertigo with the final position change. Also, as with the CRP for the posterior SCC, the pro­vider is simply guiding the patient’s head through the movements.
Gufoni Maneuver for Geotropic Nystagmus. This
treatment was first published in English in a 2001 manuscript written by Appiani, Catania, and Gagliardi (2001). In this article the authors credit the technique to Gufoni in a 1999 Italian manuscript written by Asprella, Libonati, and Gufoni. Hence there is some confusion in the literature regarding the naming of the technique, and it has been called both the Appiani maneuver and the Gufoni maneuver. The current suggested terminol­ogy, based on the clinical practice guidelines (Bhat­tacharyya et al., 2017), is the Gufoni maneuver for geotropic nystagmus. The premise of this technique is similar to other treatments of canalithiasis, which is the use of gravity to move the canaliths through the affected horizontal SCC.
To perform the treatment, the patient starts in sit­ting on a treatment table. The clinician faces the patient and assists and guides the patient into a side-lying posi­tion on the unaffected side (Figures 11–10A and B). The patient remains in this position for 30 seconds. In this position, gravity should cause the canaliths to migrate posteriorly in the horizontal SCC. After the 30 seconds, the clinician rotates the patient’s neck 45 to 60 degrees, bringing the nose down toward the treatment table (Figure 11–10C), which should cause the canaliths to migrate out of the horizontal SCC and into the utricular space. The patient remains in this position for an addi­tional one to two minutes and is then brought back to a seated position. Once the patient is upright, the neck is brought back to a neutral position (Figure 11–10D).
Forced Prolonged Positioning (FPP)
This treatment was described by Vannuchi, Giannoni, and Pagnini (1997) as an alternative treatment for hori­zontal SCC canalithiasis. This is a treatment that the patient will perform on their own at home. The patient starts by lying on the affected side for 30 to 60 seconds until the vertiginous symptoms stop, during which the canaliths should migrate to the most lateral aspect of the horizontal SCC. The patient then slowly rolls through supine onto the unaffected side and remains in this position for 12 hours. The patient can get up to eat, etc., but then returns to bed to continue the treatment.
Outcomes
There is evidence to support the use of the PRMs in the treatment of horizontal SCC canalithiasis that gener­ates geotropic nystagmus in the positioning tests. Nuti et al. (1998) found that 71% of the 36 patients treated with the CRP for horizontal SCC canalithiasis had reso­lution of their signs and symptoms. Likewise, Kim and colleagues (2012) found a statistically significant dif­ference in the resolution of signs and symptoms fol­lowing the CRP for the horizontal SCC canalithiasis compared with a sham treatment. In the same study, they also reported a similar statistically significant dif­ference in the resolution of signs and symptoms fol­lowing the Gufoni maneuver for geotropic nystagmus compared with a sham treatment. They found no dif­ference between the resolution rates for CRP for the horizontal SCC canalithiasis and the Gufoni maneu­ver for geotropic nystagmus treatments. Mandalà and colleagues (2013) also found a statistically significant difference between the Gufoni maneuver for geotro­pic nystagmus (88.9%) compared with a sham treat­ment (8.6%). Results of the FPP treatment appear to be

beneficial as well. In the original study, 22 of 29 patients with horizontal SCC canalithiasis had resolution of their signs and symptoms following one treatment session (Vannuchi et al., 1997). Nuti and colleagues (1998) reported a 76.2% success rate (n = 63) with the FPP treatment. Recent meta-analyses (Buzzell, Frank, Williams, Goode, & Clendaniel, 2014; Fu et al., 2019) showed that CRP for the horizontal SCC canalithiasis, the Gufoni maneuver for geotropic nystagmus, and FPP were all effective methods of treating horizontal SCC BPPV with geotropic nystagmus.
Horizontal Semicircular Canal BPPV with
Apogeotropic Nystagmus
As discussed previously, the finding of bilateral apo­geotropic nystagmus during the positioning tests is consistent with either horizontal SCC cupulolithiasis or canalithiasis with the canaliths located in the anterior arm of the horizontal SCC. There are different treat­ment procedures that have been proposed based on the presumed location of the otoconia. One treatment is based on the possibility that the otoconia are attached to the utricular side of the cupula. The other treatment is based on the possibility that the otoconia are on the canal side of the cupula, either attached to the cupula or located in the anterior arm of the horizontal SCC. Since it is not possible to determine if the otoconia are located on the utricalar or canal side of the cupula, the clinician should try one technique, and if that is unsuc­cessful, try the other technique. In the case of otoco­nia located on the canal side of the cupula, one would expect that the elicited nystagmus will be persistent in cupulolithiasis and of a shorter duration in the anterior arm canalithiasis.
Gufoni Maneuver for Apogeotropic Nystagmus
This treatment was described by Casani, Vannucci, Fattori, and Berrettini (2002) as a method of treat­ing horizontal SCC cupulolithiasis; in the article the authors reference the technique to an Italian publica­tion by Gufoni and colleagues in 1998. Hence there is some confusion in the literature regarding the naming of the technique, and it has been called both the Casani maneuver and the Gufoni maneuver. The current suggested terminology, based on the clinical practice guidelines (Bhattacharyya et al., 2017), is the Gufoni maneuver for apogeotropic nystagmus.
To perform the treatment when the otoconia
are thought to be located on the utricular side of the
cupula, the patient will start sitting on the treatment table with the neck in neutral. The clinician will hold on to the patient’s head and rapidly guide the patient into a side-lying position toward the affected ear. The patient remains in this side-lying position for 30 sec­onds. The clinician will then rapidly rotate the patient’s neck 45 to 60 degrees nose down toward the table. The patient remains in this position for one to two minutes and then sits upright (Figure 11–11).
To perform the treatment, when the otoconia are thought to be on the canal side of the cupula or located in the anterior arm of the horizontal SCC, the patient will start sitting on the treatment table with neck in neutral. The clinician will hold on to the patient’s head and rapidly guide the patient into a side-lying position toward the affected ear. The patient remains in this side-lying position for 30 seconds. The clini­cian will then rapidly rotate the patient’s neck 45 to 60 degrees nose up from the table. The patient remains in this position for one to two minutes and then sits upright (Figure 11–12). This treatment is designed to transform the initial condition into the typical posterior arm horizontal SCC canalithiasis, and if the treatment was successful, on retesting the clinician will observe geotropic nystagmus. This can then be treated with either the Gufoni maneuver for geotropic nystagmus, CRP for the horizontal SCC, or FPP.
Other Treatments
Kim and colleagues (2012) described a procedure which essentially combines vibration applied to the mastoid and CRP for the horizontal SCC. The procedure is designed to treat horizontal SCC cupulolithiasis for otoconia that are attached to either side of the cupula. While there are no RCTs of this treatment, the inves­tigators reported that 76 of 78 patients experienced a resolution of their signs and symptoms, and the mean number of treatments was 2.1. Other treatments have been proposed for the treatment of presumed horizon­tal SCC cupulolithiasis, such as head shaking and FPP lying on the affected side. There is insufficient data to support these treatments at this time.
Outcomes
There is mixed evidence to support the use of the Gufoni maneuver for apogeotropic nystagmus. Casani and colleagues (2002) reported that 6 of 9 patients (66.7%) with presumed horizontal SCC cupulolithiasis had resolution of their signs and symptoms following one or two treatments. A similar study (Oh et al., 2009)

demonstrated less impressive results: 17 of 84 individ­uals (20.2%) had resolution of the signs and symptoms following one treatment. Ciniglio Appiani et al. (2005) reported on 16 patients, all of whom showed a tran­sition from apogeotropic to geotropic nystagmus in the provoking tests following treatment. A recent RCT (Kim et al., 2012b) demonstrated that the Gufoni maneuver was more successful than a sham treatment: 45/52 (86.5%) compared with 22/49 (44.9%), respec­tively, for the treatment of presumed anterior arm hori­zontal SCC canalithiasis.
CENTRAL POSITIONAL NYSTAGMUS
AND CENTRAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO
While BPPV is a common finding that is relatively easy to diagnose and treat, there are causes of posi­tional nystagmus and positional vertigo that are due to either abnormalities within the central nervous system or other peripheral vestibular conditions. These condi­tions will not respond to the interventions described for the treatment of BPPV. The goal of this section is to help the clinician identify the signs and symptoms of positional nystagmus and positional vertigo that are not consistent with BPPV and are suggestive of other disorders.
Central Positional Nystagmus
Two types of central positional nystagmus have been identified, central positional nystagmus without ver­tigo (CPN) and central positional nystagmus with vertigo (CPV) (Harrison & Ozsahinoglu, 1972; Sakata, Ohtsu, Shimura, & Sakai, 1987). CPN is characterized by nystagmus that persists as long as the head is held in the provoking position (Harrison & Ozsahinoglu,
1972). The nystagmus is typically in one direction (ver­tical, horizontal, or torsional), unlike the mixed verti­cal torsional nystagmus seen in posterior and anterior semicircular canal BPPV. Central positional nystagmus may be seen in elderly patients when they are supine. The elicited nystagmus is typically vertical. In the absence of other findings on the examination, the CPN is thought to be benign. In other individuals, CPN may be seen in conjunction with either up-beating or down beating-spontaneous nystagmus while the patient is seated. The CPN in these cases is typically greater than the spontaneous nystagmus observed in sitting.
The down-beating spontaneous nystagmus and
CPN have been associated with a variety of central
disorders, including Chiari malformation, multiple sclerosis, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, and brainstem infarction (Baloh & Spooner, 1981). These patients had other oculomotor signs such as impaired smooth pur­suit and impaired VOR cancellation. The actual patho­physiology causing the down-beating nystagmus is not well understood at this point, but it is thought that the down-beating nystagmus results from an imbalance between the anterior and posterior SCC pathways. Recall that the SCC inputs are separated at the level of the vestibular nuclei into vertical (pitch), horizontal (yaw), and roll pathways. A lesion that causes either an increase in the central anterior SCC pathways or a decrease in the central posterior SCC pathways would lead to down-beating nystagmus.
The up-beating spontaneous nystagmus and CPN have been associated with central disorders such as tumor, stroke, and multiple sclerosis affecting the bra­chium conjunctivum or the ventral tegmental tract (Fisher, Gresty, Chambers, & Rudge, 1983). Many of these patients also had findings of abnormal smooth pursuit. The presumed pathophysiology for the up­beating nystagmus is thought to be the opposite of that for the down-beating nystagmus. The up-beating nys­tagmus is due to a higher level of neural activity in the central posterior SCC pathways relative to the central anterior SCC pathways.
Given the lack of symptoms of vertigo with the positional tests, the unidirectionality of the positional nystagmus, and the other oculomotor findings, it should not be difficult for the clinician to differentiate between CPN and BPPV.
Central positional nystagmus with vertigo can present with persistent positional induced nystag­mus and vertigo. In this type of CPV, the nystagmus is down-beating without a torsional component, the nys­tagmus and vertigo persist as long as the head is in the provoking position, and the nystagmus and vertigo do not fatigue, nor do they habituate with repeated test­ing. This pattern of CPV has been attributed to cerebel­lar tumors or to hemorrhage dorsolateral to the fourth ventricle (Brandt, 1990; Harrison & Ozsahinoglu, 1975).
Unlike CPN, CPV may present in a manner remarkably similar to BPPV. Central positioning nys­tagmus with vertigo is often characterized by brief episodes of positioning vertigo and nystagmus, which has been called pseudo-BPPN (Buttner, Helmchen, & Brandt, 1999; Sakata et al., 1987). Based on clinical and experimental studies, there is a large degree of overlap in the signs and symptoms associated with BPPV and CPV. For example, the latency to the onset of nystag­mus in cases of CPV has been reported to be between 0 and 5 seconds (Gregorius, Crandall, & Baloh, 1976;

Jacobson, Butcher, Newman, & Monsell, 1995; Wat­son, Barber, Deck, & Terbrugge, 1981). The pattern of nystagmus in CPV can take a variety of forms. Find­ings from clinical studies have reported pure vertical (down-beating or up-beating), pure torsional, pure horizontal, and mixed vertical and horizontal patterns of nystagmus (Barber, 1984; Gregorius et al., 1976; Kat­tah, Kolsky, & Luessenhop, 1984; Kim, Yi, & Lee, 2012; Sakata et al., 1987). The duration of the elicited nystag­mus and symptoms is typically relatively brief (5 to 60 seconds) and mimics that seen in BPPV (Barber, 1984; Gregorius et al., 1976). Fatigability of the response to repeated testing within a short time frame, although not always tested in the clinic, is a hallmark of BPPV and may also be seen in individuals with CPV (Grego­rius et al., 1976; Kattah et al., 1984). However, fatigabil­ity of the response is not seen in all patients with CPV (Gregorius et al., 1976; Sakata et al., 1987). As can be seen from these studies, in terms of latency, duration, and fatigability, there are marked similarities between BPPV and CPV. There do appear to be differences in the patterns of elicited nystagmus; however, down­beating torsional nystagmus could be due to anterior SCC BPPV or CPV, and horizontal nystagmus could be due to horizontal SCC BPPV or CPV. While the other patterns of nystagmus seen in CPV do not fit with the classical descriptions of the nystagmus seen in BPPV,
the nystagmus seen in individuals with BPPV may not appear to fit the pattern of mixed vertical and torsional nystagmus seen in posterior and anterior SCC BPPV. For example, the lateral position of the eye in the orbit will accentuate either the vertical or the torsional com­ponent of the nystagmus, which may make it difficult to determine if the nystagmus is mixed vertical and tor­sional, pure vertical, or pure torsional. Also, lid closure or rapid blinking may make it difficult to assess the pattern of nystagmus. Either scenario would increase the difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis.
The presence of other neurologic findings and symptoms would not be expected in cases of BPPV. Associated symptoms, such as sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, fainting sensations, progressive imbalance, and vomiting have been reported in individuals with paroxysmal positioning vertigo of central origin (CPV) (Dunniway & Welling, 1998; Shoman & Longridge,
2007). An abnormal oculomotor exam is often seen in individuals with CPV (Buttner et al., 1999). The pres­ence of other neurologic signs and symptoms, how­ever, is not a requirement for CPV. There are numerous reports of individuals with CPV and no other signs or symptoms (Barber, 1984; Gregorius et al., 1976; H. A. Kim et al., 2012; Watson et al., 1981). The similarities and differences between BBPV, CPV, and CPN are sum­marized in Table 11–2.

Various causes of CPV have been reported in the literature, including cerebellopontine angle tumors, lesions affecting the cerebellar vermis or the fourth ventricle, and an infarction of the cerebellar nodulus (Dunniway & Welling, 1998; H. A. Kim et al., 2012; Shoman & Longridge, 2007). A more common form of CPV is migrainous vertigo and positional nystag­mus. Spontaneous, positional, or a combination of spontaneous and positional nystagmus can be seen during an acute migraine with associated symptoms of dizziness (von Brevern, Zeise, Neuhauser, Clarke, & Lempert, 2005). In these cases the nystagmus can be vertical, horizontal, or torsional and may change with different positional tests. In patients with a history of migrainous vertigo who were assessed when they were asymptomatic, 12% to 28% (depending on the time of assessment) demonstrated significant positional nys­tagmus (Radtke, von Brevern, Neuhauser, Hottenrott, & Lempert, 2012).
Other Causes of Positional Nystagmus/Vertigo
Vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) has been reported to produce episodic bouts of vertigo and nystagmus (Grad & Baloh, 1989; Strupp et al., 2000). These find­ings have been seen in both positional testing as well as in sitting with cervical rotation. Symptoms associ­ated with VBI would be dependent of the position of the head on the trunk (neck position), rather than the position of the head in space (positional testing). Con­sequently, nystagmus and vertigo seen in the Dix–Hall­pike test should be reproducible in sitting with cervical extension and rotation, if the cause of the signs and symptoms were due to VBI. Vertiginous symptoms are common in cases of VBI, but isolated episodes of ver­tigo in VBI are controversial, with conflicting reports as to the incidence of this finding (Gomez, Cruz-Flores, Malkoff, Sauer, & Burch, 1996; Wityk et al., 1998).
Perilymphatic fistula and superior canal dehis­cence can make the membranous labyrinth susceptible to pressure changes such as Valsalva maneuvers or the Dix–Hallpike test, where the head is hanging below the horizontal plane. These conditions are typically accom­panied by hearing loss. The production of nystagmus and symptoms are not dependent on the position of the head in space and can often be reproduced in an upright (seated) position with the Valsalva maneuver.
As discussed previously, positional nystagmus may be seen following a unilateral vestibular loss. The nystagmus is horizontal (geotropic or apogeo­tropic), and generally the pattern of nystagmus will
remain constant (geotropic or apogeotropic) in each Dix–Hallpike or Roll test. Thus the nystagmus may appear similar to horizontal SCC BPPV (canalithiasis or cupulolithiasis). Whereas individuals with horizon­tal SCC BPPV are very symptomatic, individuals with positional nystagmus as a result of unilateral vestibular loss are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. The nystagmus observed in these cases is thought to be due to the interaction of the changing otolithic input with the asymmetrical SCC input, or a reduction in the suppression of the asymmetric SCC activity.
Summary
There are causes of positional vertigo and nystagmus that are not due to BPPV. The challenge to the clinician is to identify the cause of the positional vertigo, such that appropriate treatment can be initiated. There are differ­ences in the clinical presentation of the various causes of positional vertigo, but at times it may be difficult to determine whether the positional vertigo is due to BPPV or another cause, such as CPV. The latency, dura­tion, and symptoms may be very similar in cases of BPPV and CPV. There are generally differences in the pattern of elicited nystagmus in BPPV and CPV. The one consistent difference between BPPV and CPV is that BPPV will respond to maneuvers such as the canalith repositioning maneuver or Semont maneuver, while CPV will not respond to these treatments. If the presum­ed BPPV is not responding to the therapeutic maneu­vers, the clinician should be suspicious of possible CPV.
