Polyclinique Centre-Ville

Benin Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

It is a mechanical treatment. Please do not take medicines for BPPV. The crystals (otoliths) have moved. They left their source, at the utricle to move to the semicircular canal, an organ of balance. We can bring them back into the utricle where they must be present.

Spontaneous recovery of BPPV is possible in 15% of cases. Otherwise, consult our experts at the Polyclinique Centre-Ville ORL & Spécialités Médicales. BPPV is treated by adequate repositioning maneuvers. It is treated by one of the two repositioning maneuvers: Epley maneuver or Semont maneuver.
