  • Look Inside

 Three cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) evoked by strict bed rest, two for postoperative care and one for serious illness, were reported. Schuknecht proved that BPPV was caused by a deposit on the posterior canal cupola, and termed it as cupulolithiasis. When BPPV is in its latent period due to the damage of the utricle by various causes, strict bed rest may facilitate the deposition of the degenerated utricular otoconia on the posterior canal cupula. In our three cases, BPPV developed 5 to 7 days from the beginning of strict bed rest. The onset of the disease was usually noticed when the patients first arose on the bed. The prognoses were good in all cases only by letting their heads shake on purpose.
