Pharmacologic therapy is often given to patients with BPPV as well, but it is not curative. However, antihistamines (e.g., mecliz ine), benzodiazepines, and
antiemet icscanbeusedforsymptomaticreliefwhileawaitingsuccessfultreatmentwiththeEpleymaneuver.
Unfortunately,despitesubstantialevidencesup p ort ingtheuseoftheEpleymaneuver(onestudycitesan80%curerateat24hours),patientsarefarmorelikely

labyrinthitis. Acute symptoms last for hours to days, oftenwith residual oscillopsia (the sensation that the world is unstable and in
motion) andimbalance lastingfor days toweeksor evenlonger. The diagnosis is basedonhistoryandexamination (a positive head
impulse test is crucial; the HINTS test was initially developed to distinguish vestibular neuritis from central causes). Treatment is
supportive, typicallywith antiemetics and vestibular rehabilitation. In severe cases, there issome evidence that corticosteroids may
hastenrecovery.

Box5.4OtherCausesofPeripheralVertigo
Herpes zoster oticus (Ramsay Hunt syndrome). This is a less common but
important cause of peripheral vertigo. It is the result of reactivation of latent herpes
zoster infection within the geniculate ganglion (a collection of sensory neurons of the
https://t.me/med1917

facial nerve). The classic symptom triad includes ipsilateral facial paralysis, ear pain,
and vesicles in the auditory canal or auricle, but the virus can spread to the eighth
cranial nerve as well, causing vertigo, tinnitus, and/or hearing loss. Treatment is with
antiviralmedications,althoughevidencefortheirefficacyissparse.

Because these tumors are slow-growing, the CNS is able to compensate for subtle
vestibular imbalances, and severe vertigo is relatively uncommon. More often patients
experiencegradual-onsetunilateralhearinglossand tinnitus,alongwitha vaguesense
of imbalance or gait instability. When vestibular schwannomas are associated with
neurofibromatosis type 2, they are often bilateral (see Chapter 17). An MRI of the
internalauditorycanal(IAC)isdiagnostic.
