摘要:
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common medical condition in which the patient feels a spinning sensation when making certain head movements. There is evidence to support those free-floating calcium crystals in the semi-circular canals (the inner ear) may be the cause. BPPV can be a disabling condition. It can be easily diagnosed after taking a careful history and performing bedside examinations. BPPV can be treated successfully through a specific set of physical maneuvers leading to the removal of these crystals from the inner ear. We present three cases of BPPV, living in three different countries, treated successfully using telehealth via Zoom. This approach can be a particularly useful consultation stand during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
