    Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in Pregnancy
    (2017) Coban, Kubra; Yiğit, Nilufer; Aydin, Erdinc; 29392061
    Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a clinical entity characterized by acute, brief paroxysmal attacks of rotational vertigo induced by head position changes. It is the most common peripheral vestibular pathology and is seen more frequently in women. However, to our knowledge, there is very limited data on the association between BPPV and pregnancy in both English and Turkish literature. We present four pregnant women diagnosed with BPPV for the first time during gestation and revise the etiological factors of BPPV and the role of pregnancy-related changes in BPPV.

    Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Diagnosed in a Patient with Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia
    (2018) Coban, Kubra; Kansu, Leyla; Aydin, Erdinc; 0000-0002-4633-0983; 0000-0003-1707-7760; 0000-0001-6864-7378; AAJ-2032-2021; H-8232-2013; AAJ-2379-2021
    Idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD) is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary contraction of the muscles of the neck causing twisting movements and abnormal head and neck postures. Its etiology is unclear: however. intracerebral neuronal circuit pathologies are highly considered. On the contrary, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vertigo diagnosed. We present a patient with CD suffering from severe vertigo who was diagnosed with BPPV. This is a very unique case representing the co-occurrence of a rare central nervous system pathology and a peripheral inner ear disease. The cause and effect relation between two pathologies is under scope. We present a 55-year-old woman with CD attended our clinic with severe vertigo and nausea. Left posterior semicircular canal BPPV (PSCC BPPV) was diagnosed. Involuntary head and neck muscle contractions caused by CD appear to have contributed to the development of BPPV in this case. However, increased neuronal activities causing CD could also have led to BPPV in the vestibular nuclear level. Further investigations are essential. Peripheral vestibular pathologies and their association with CD are not clearly determined in the literature so far. To our knowledge, there are no other cases reported regarding this co-occurrence.
