Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of BPPV usually develop after 40-50 years of life start with vertigo that last less than one minute and starts after specific head movements.
- If left untreated, almost 100% of patients with BPPV may experience spontaneous recovery.
Complications
- Common complications of BPPV include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fainting
- Canal conversion
- Cervical spine and neurological complications following dix hallpike or epley maneuvers.
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent, and almost always BPPV will resolve over days to weeks on its own even without maneuvers or medications.[1]
- Resolving of the BPPV which is the result of head trauma or structural abnormalities might take a little more time.
- Recurrence is common and happens in more than 30% of patients.
- Patients older than 40 years of age, with horizontal BPPV or post traumatic BPPV are more susceptible to recurrence.
