Objective: To describe a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) resulting in reversible horizontal semicircular canalith jam successfully treated with horizontal canal occlusion. A brief literature review of similar cases was performed. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: A 68-year-old female presented with apogeotropic positional nystagmus, attributed to reversible horizontal canalith jam mimicking cupulolithiasis that was refractory to tailored repositioning maneuvers across months. She was unable to work due to the severity of her symptoms. She underwent surgical occlusion of the affected canal with immediate resolution of her symptoms. A literature review revealed similar cases of canalith jam mimicking cupulolithiasis. Conclusions: Reversible canalith jam, in which particles moving with horizontal head position alternate between obstructing the semicircular canal and resting on the cupula, can mimic signs of cupulolithiasis. This variant of BPPV can be effectively managed with surgical canal occlusion should symptoms fail to resolve after tailored repositioning maneuvers.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technical variant applied to the Gufoni's manoeuvre, in the treatment of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV). 87 patients with BPPV of HSC (55 women and 32 men), aged between 21 and 80 years, were randomized either to modified Gufoni's manoeuvre or to the Gufoni's manoeuvre. 93% of patients treated with modified Gufoni's manoeuvre was cured after the first treatment session, of which only 2% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV, while the Gufoni's manoeuvre led to a symptoms resolution in 88% of cases, of which 16% had a conversion into PSC-BPPV. Therefore, the modified Gufoni's manoeuvre shows the same effectiveness in the resolution of symptoms of Gufoni's manoeuvre, but it appears more effective than the latter to reduce the percentage of conversion of the HSC-BPPV into PSC-BPPV (χ2=6.13,P=0.047).
