Acute Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo After Endothelial Keratoplasty–A Unique Cause of Postoperative Nausea and Headache

Conclusions: BPPV is a benign but rare complication of nonotologic surgery and has not been previously reported with ophthalmic surgery. The overlap in symptomatology between BPPV and other serious and potentially vision-threatening causes of postoperative nausea and headache, such as pupillary block glaucoma, makes this a relevant etiology to consider in the spectrum of postendothelial keratoplasty complications.
