  • Title: Update on posterior canal occlusion for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
    Author: Parnes LS.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1996 Apr; 29(2):333-42. PubMed ID: 8860931.
    Abstract:
    Most, if not all, cases of BPPV appear to result from free-floating posterior semicircular canal endolymph particles. Particle repositioning alleviates symptoms and findings in the vast majority of patients. For the small intractable group of nonresponders, posterior semicircular canal occlusion remains a safe and highly efficacious procedure. This new technique has also paved the way for even newer and most invasive inner ear procedures.
