Abstract

We report a case of non-traumatic, multicanal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in a premenopausal, osteopenic 35-year-old female with corresponding low bone mineral density. Dix-Hallpike and supine roll tests confirmed unilateral posterior canal (PC) BPPV from 2012-2014, and later, a rare presentation of multicanal BPPV with specifically ipsilateral horizontal canals (HC) and anterior canals (AC) affected in 2015. Heel scans displayed T-scores within the osteopenia range in 2012 until levels normalized one year later. Despite treatment with indicated canalith repositioning treatments (CRTs), symptoms continued to persist. Complete resolution of symptoms occurred in 2016, which is most likely due to self-treatment with daily 5000 IU vitamin D in 2015. This case emphasizes the rare presentation of unilateral single-canal BPPV to multi-canal BPPV, along with the importance of vitamin D treatment in preventing the recurrence of symptoms.
