説明

We report horizontal canal BPPV (HC-BPPV) targeting its pathophysiology, the affected side, and the function of the horizontal semicircular canal, together with a review of the literature.<BR>Subjects were 13 patients with HC-BPPV visiting our vertigo outpatient clinic at Nara medical university hospital and a related hospital in the 2.5 years from January 2000 to June 2002.<BR>Subjects were classified into 7 with canalolithiasis and 6 patients of cupulolithiasis after a neurotological examination. CP was positive in 54% of all patients, 71% of those with canalolithiasis, and 33% of those with cupulolithiasis.<BR>To determine the affected side in HC-BPPV, we used the affected side by using the law of Ewald in canalolithaisis patients and the detection of a neutral diminishing nystagmus in cupulolithiasis patients. CP positive in caloric testing indicated insignificant dysfunction of the horizontal semicircular canal in canalolithiasis patients compared to that in cupulolithasis patients. The mechanism behind caloric nystagmus was thought to be a convection of endolymphatic fluid interrupted consequently by an otolith in the semicircular canal in canalolithiasis patients.<BR>In contrast, CP was positive in cupulolithiasis patients regarded as having no convection of endolymphatic fluid.<BR>The mechanism causing a difference in caloric test results between canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis patients thus requires a larger patient population and further examination to be conclusive.
