Types of Nystagmus Due to BPPV Vertigo (What it Looks Like, Which Side, & Which Maneuver?)

BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) causes an eyeball twitch known as nystagmus. Depending on the nystagmus orientation, the appropriate maneuver to treat the BPPV varies. Video demonstrates all the different types of nystagmus, how it is described, and how it can be treated whether Epley, Gufoni, Deep-Head Hanging, Semont, BBQ, or Half-Somersault. Do keep in mind that if nystagmus is absent (but you are dizzy)... or if the nystagmus persists even when totally still for more than 10 minutes, you do NOT have BPPV and some other cause for dizziness must be pursued. General flowchart to diagnose most types of dizziness can be found here: www.fauquierent.net/dizziness/dizzy1.htm If dizziness is persistently present for hour(s), even when still, and nystagmus is seen, watch this video instead:    • Video   The main maneuver to trigger and diagnose what type of BPPV: Dix-Hallpike:    • Dix Hallpike to Diagnose BPPV Dizziness   Maneuvers: Epley:    • Epley Maneuver to Treat BPPV Dizzines...   Semont:    • Semont Maneuver for BPPV Vertigo Trea...   Half-Somersault:    • Half Somersault Maneuver to Treat BPP...   Deep-Head Hanging:    • Deep Head Hanging Maneuver to Treat B...   BBQ Roll:    • Lempert (BBQ) Maneuver to Treat BPPV ...   Gufoni:    • Gufoni Maneuver to Treat BPPV of the ...   Video created by Dr. Christopher Chang: www.FauquierENT.net/ Still haven’t subscribed to Fauquier ENT on YouTube? ►► bit.ly/35SazwA
