Bppv - Quiz & Trivia

1. BPPV is commonly caused due to

Dysfunction involving utricle

Dysfunction involving saccule

Dysfunction involving posterior semicircular canal

Dysfunction involving endolymphatic sac

BPPV is commonly caused by dysfunction involving posterior semicircular canal. On rare occasions superior and lateral canals too can be involved

Explanation

BPPV is commonly caused by dysfunction involving posterior semicircular canal. On rare occasions superior and lateral canals too can be involved

2. In Dix Hallpike maneuver the patient is placed

In supine position

In prone position

In sitting position

In supine position with head hanging down from the edge of the couch

3.

Frenzel's glasses should be used by

Observer

Patient

Patient and observer

By everyone present in the examination room

4. BPPV was first described by:

Barany

Neffson

Paperella

Portmann

This disorder was first described by Barany in 1921. He documented the various components of this disorder as 1. Nystagmus, 2. Fatiguability of the nystagmus and 3. Vertigo. He failed to correlate the onset of nystagmus with specific positions of the head.

5. Singular neurectomy is useful in the mangement of intractable BPPV because

Singular nerve supplies the posterior semicircular canal

Singular nerve supplies all three semicircular canals

Singular nerve supplies utricle, saccule and lateral semicircular canals

Singular nerve supplies the entire labyrinth

6. After repositioning maneuvers patient is asked to

Sleep without a pillow for 2 days

Sleep with head turned to one side (affected) for 2 days

Sleep with head elevated to 45 degrees for 2 days

7. Vibrator therapy for BPPV is contraindicated in patients with

COPD

Retinal detachment

Ear discharge

Meniere's disease

8. Lateral canal BPPV can be identified by

Dix Hallpike maneuver

Doll's eye movement

Lack of righting reflex

Variation of Dix Hallpike maneuver

9. In Epley Maneuver the patient is placed in

Dix Hallpike position

Prone position

Supine position with head raised by 30 degrees

Prone position with head hanging out from the edge of the couch

10. Which repositioning maneuver can be perfromed by the patient himself?

Dix Hallpike Maneuver

Semont's maneuver

Brandt Droff maneuver

Ruby maneuver

11. In Dix Hallpike position

The posterior canal is horizontal to earth's vertical plane

The lateral canal is vertical to the earth's axis

The posterior canal is in the earth's vertical plane

The superior canal is in the earth's vertical plane

12. Unique features of Nystagmus of BPPV are

Very short latency

Directional features

Brief duration

Prolonged duration

Reversibility on coming out of provoking position

Irreversible

Dix & Hallpike 1952 described the Dix Hallpike maneuver for eliciting the nystagmus. They also described the unique features of nystagmus accompanying this disorder. These features were 1. Very short latency, 2. Directional features, 3. Brief duration, and 4. Reversibility on returning the patient to a seated position.
