Abstract

A 41-year-old woman underwent a successful stapedectomy for relief of conductive hearing loss due to otosclerosis. Post-operatively, she developed persistent symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Eight weeks later, a canalith repositioning procedure was performed in the office, with immediate complete resolution of her vertigo. Anatomic and pathophysiologic implications of these observations will be discussed.
