Predictive Values of Serum Uric Acid, Mean Platelet Volume and Plateletcrit on Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common healthcare problem in the elderly. BPPV is characterized by short vertigo episodes with movement of the head (1). BPPV has a high incidence rate, approximately 17-20% of peripheral vertigo (2). Most BPPV cases are idiopathic. However, some risk factors such as ear surgery, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, and head trauma are common causes for BPPV. In addition, the symptoms and prevalence increase with age (3). The common diagnostic procedure includes visualization of nystagmus and medical history of the patient (4). The prevalence of BPPV is reported as 25% in older people over 70 years with complaints of more than one year (5). More than 90% of BPPV patients can be treated with maneuvers. Most patients with vertigo state that closing the eyes reduces the symptoms (6). Current treatments include manual repositioning procedures such as Gufoni, Semont, Epley or Barbecue procedures (2).
