Main Article Content
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of vitamin D deficiency on vertigo recurrence and self-perceived disability in patients diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Postural Vertigo in a tertiary care hospital in Mexico City. This is a retrospective and descriptive study. Electronic records (January 2017 - December 2019) of previously diagnosed patients who presented deficient values of serum vitamin D were reviewed. The number of reported episodes of vertigo was counted, as well as the score obtained in the Dizzines Handicap Inventory to determine the level of self-perceived disability at the time of diagnosis and at 6-month follow-up. The serum vitamin D levels of the selected patients (n=30) showed hypovitaminosis (mean 17.1 ng/mL) at the time of diagnosis. Six months later and having received treatment with repositioning maneuvers, the patients reported from absolute absence of recurrences (7 patients, 23.3%) to 8 recurrences (1 patient, 3.3%) in the same period. Regarding the level of self-perceived disability in the initial evaluation, moderate disability predominated (60%), while, in the final evaluation, the predominant one was mild disability (73.3%). No statistically significant difference was found between vitamin D deficiency and recurrence of vertigo episodes. It is concluded that the results obtained are possibly due to the fact that vitamin D insufficiency is very common in the Mexican population, even in healthy individuals.
