Acta Neurologica Scandinavica Jan 29, 2020
Pan Q, Zhang Y, Zhang S, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective study to investigate the demographics, vertigo profiles, and outcomes of adult patients with benign recurrent vertigo (BRV). Between June 2013 and June 2017, patients with BRV who were admitted to a tertiary neurology clinic were involved. In total, 66 patients were registered, and the mean age at the onset of vertigo was 35.2 years. The most common type was spontaneous vertigo followed by positional vertigo. The duration of the attacks with vertigo varied from minutes to 72 hours. In 51.5% of individuals, a family history of migraine and/or recurrent vertigo was reported. After a median follow-up time of 32.5 months (range: 18-60 months), the overall response rate was 80.3%. The results of BRV patients were benign, and the frequency of vertigo is reduced significantly. Few cases progressed into a vestibular migraine.
