    Abstract Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), defined in 2017, is a vestibular disorder characterized by chronic dizziness that is exacerbated by upright posture and exposure to complex visual stimuli. This review focused on recent neuroimaging studies that explored the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PPPD and three conditions that predated it. The emerging picture is that local activity and functional connectivity in multimodal vestibular cortical areas are decreased in PPPD, which is potentially related to structural abnormalities (e.g., reductions in cortical folding and grey-matter volume). Additionally, connectivity between the prefrontal cortex, which regulates attentional and emotional responses, and primary visual and motor regions appears to be increased in PPPD. These results complement physiological and psychological data identifying hypervigilant postural control and visual dependence in patients with PPPD, supporting the hypothesis that PPPD arises from shifts in interactions among visuo-vestibular, sensorimotor, and emotional networks that overweigh visual over vestibular inputs and increase the effects of anxiety-related mechanisms on locomotor control and spatial orientation.

    Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the case of a patient undergoing kidney transplantation who developed limb tremor dizziness and vertical nystagmus (ny) during Tacrolimus (TAC) therapy and to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the balance disorder. This case study regards a 51-year old kidney transplant male patient with hand tremors and lower limbs asthenia associated with dizziness and nausea. The symptoms started two months after the beginning of intravenous TAC for renal transplantation. The pure-tone audiometry showed a mild symmetrical high-frequencies down-sloping sensorineural hearing loss. Acoustic emittance measures showed a normal tympanogram; stapedial reflexes were normally elicited. The Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) and Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (c-VEMPs) were bilaterally normally evoked. The bedside vestibular examination showed spontaneous down-beating stationary persistent, omni-positional nystagmus, not inhibited by fixation. The Head-Shaking Test accentuates the spontaneous ny. The horizontal clinical head impulse test was negative, bilaterally. A biochemical blood test revealed a decrease in Magnesium (Mg) levels (0.8 mg/dL; normal range 1.58–2.55). The integration of Mg induced both a plasma levels normalization and an improvement of clinical symptoms. This case suggests that TAC treatment can induce a Mg depletion that caused the transient cerebellar lesion. Therefore, the monitoring of serum electrolytes during immunosuppressive treatment appears to be a useful tool in order to reduce the central system symptomatology.

    Abstract Peripheral vestibular disease can be treated with several approaches (e.g., maneuvers, surgery, or medical approach). Comorbidity is common in elderly patients, so polytherapy is used, but it can generate the development of drug–drug interactions (DDIs) that play a role in both adverse drug reactions and reduced adherence. For this reason, they need a complex kind of approach, considering all their individual characteristics. Physicians must be able to prescribe and deprescribe drugs based on a solid knowledge of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical indications. Moreover, full information is required to reach a real therapeutic alliance, to improve the safety of care and reduce possible malpractice claims related to drug–drug interactions. In this review, using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library, we searched articles published until 30 August 2021, and described both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic DDIs in patients with vestibular disorders, focusing the interest on their clinical implications and on risk management strategies.
