    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of Yacovino repositioning maneuver in patients with anterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (ASC-BPPV). METHOD: Nine patients were diagnosed as ASC-BPPV from January 2013 to October 2014. All the patients were performed with Yacovino repositioning maneuver and the effective rate were evaluated by Dix-Hallpike tests. RESULT: Among the nine ASC-BPPV patients, 2 cases were successfully controlled by the first maneuver, 2 cases by the second time, and the nystagmus of 1 case was disappeared after 1 months' follow-up. The remaining 3 cases were respectively followed up till 7,8, 12 months with consistent positional downbeat nystagmus. CONCLUSION: Being a relative low incidence disease, of ASC-BPPV also has low effective rate after Yacovino repositioning maneuver.
