Residual Dizziness or Something More? Overlapping Diagnoses After BPPV Treatment
09-11, 17:30–18:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Equilibrium 2

<p>Description</p> <p>In this short talk, I will focus on the diagnostic dilemma posed by patients who continue to experience dizziness despite successful canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV. Using selected patient cases and vestibular testing data, I will explore how residual dizziness can overlap with or mask underlying conditions such as vestibular migraine, Ménière’s disease, or persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). My goal is to help clinicians differentiate between benign post-treatment symptoms and signs of a broader vestibular pathology that requires additional management.</p> <p>Outcome Objectives</p> <p>After this presentation, attendees will be able to:</p> <p>- Recognize clinical red flags that suggest residual dizziness is not due to BPPV alone<br>- Compare features of RD with vestibular migraine, Ménière’s disease, and PPPD<br>- Apply practical strategies to avoid unnecessary repeated repositioning maneuvers</p>
<p>The purpose of this brief presentation is to provide a focused clinical perspective on residual dizziness through the lens of overlapping vestibular disorders. By sharing real cases and discussing subtle diagnostic clues, I aim to support more accurate diagnosis and targeted intervention in patients with persistent post-BPPV symptoms.The purpose of this brief presentation is to provide a focused clinical perspective on residual dizziness through the lens of overlapping vestibular disorders.
