[Modification of particle replacement in a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) of the horizontal canal].
A variant of the particle repositioning maneuver was used in a patient diagnosed as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the horizontal canal. The patient was treated initially with Lempert's maneuver, but a paradoxical response was elicited by videonystagmography so we had to develop a maneuver adapted to the location of the patients otoliths. The likely physiopathology is discussed in the light of videonystagmographic events.
