Article Abstract
Pseudo-benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (pseudo-BPPV) is a specific type of vestibular migraine disguised as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is characterized by recurrent different types of positional and atypical positional vertigo with migraine features. It is easy to be misdiagnosed with BPPV at the first visit, which means that the ideal therapeutic effects are not achieved. Twenty-five cases of pseudo-BPPV with frequent changing positional vertigo were retrospected and the following key features help to identify the disease: recurrent positional and atypical positional vertigo, migrainous accompanying symptoms or migraine history, mild or indistinctive headaches, with or without impaired vestibular function, ineffective for simply reposition. And we found that vertigo in pseudo-BPPV can be preferable controlled by valproic acid combined with canalith repositioning procedure.

Background: Survivors of critical illness frequently face physical, cognitive and psychological impairments after intensive care. Sensorimotor impairments potentially have a negative impact on participation. However, comprehensive understanding of sensorimotor recovery and participation in survivors of critical illness is limited.

Background: Cerebellar pathologies in adults can have a wide range of hereditary, acquired and sporadic-degenerative causes. Due to the frequency in daily hospital, especially intensive care, settings, electrolyte imbalances are an important, yet rare differential diagnosis. The hypomagnesemia-induced cerebellar syndrome (HiCS) constitutes a relevant disease entity with clinical and morphological variability due to a potential progression of symptoms and a promising causal treatment.

Introduction: The rapidly expanding commercial spaceflight (CSF) market has fueled increasing interest in spaceflight experiences among individuals without professional astronaut qualifications. Such individuals may present with a range of medical conditions that add uncertainties to medical preparation and risk assessment for spaceflight. As the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) working group of the Aerospace Medical Association Ad Hoc Committee on Commercial Spaceflight, we conducted a scoping review to assess the available biomedical literature for ENT and neuro-vestibular conditions and physiology pertinent to spaceflight for nonprofessional space travelers.

Background: Multi-canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (MC-BPPV) is a rare form of BPPV characterized by the simultaneous involvement of multiple semicircular canals, often resulting in complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While MC-BPPV most commonly affects the posterior and horizontal semicircular canals, tri-canal involvement - especially with bilateral asymmetry - is exceedingly rare.
Purpose: To describe a unique case of tri-canal BPPV involving right posterior and horizontal semicircular cupulolithiasis and left horizontal semicircular canalolithiasis, successfully managed with a structured, sequential protocol of repositioning maneuvers including a novel Bascule maneuver.

Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
