Immediate and Short-Term Therapeutic Results Between Direction-Changing Positional Nystagmus with Short- and Long-Duration Groups.

Ear Hear. 2016 Mar-Apr;37(2):243-6

Authors: Ban JH, Kim MB, Hong SM

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Clinicians sometimes treat patients with relatively long-duration geotropic direction-changing positional nystagmus (DCPN), without latency. Recently, the concept of a "light cupula" in the lateral canal that reveals persistent geotropic DCPN has been introduced. In the present study, we investigated the immediate and short-term therapeutic findings in long-duration DCPN.
DESIGN: The authors prospectively compared the therapeutic efficacy of a canalith-repositioning procedure (CRP) in short- and long-duration geotropic DCPN.
RESULTS: In patients with long-duration DCPN, the authors found no immediate therapeutic effect, and the number of patients showing short-term effects (on the next day) was very low compared with the comparable figure among those with short-duration DCPN. In addition, no cases exhibited canal conversion after the CRP.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that CRP is not useful in patients with long-duration geotropic DCPN, and the pathogenesis of long-duration geotropic DCPN may not originate from free-floating debris but from deflection of the cupula.
