Dissertation built modality scientific article. In the first article submitted to "Journal of Otolaryngology" with the title benign paroxysmal positional vertigo without nystagmus: diagnosis and treatment, there was a literature review, using the following keywords: "dizziness / vertigo, diagnosis / diagnosis, therapeutic / therapeutical approaches. " Scientific publications are included in the period 2001-2009 in Portuguese, English and German. We found nine papers dealt with BPPV without nystagmus, whose diagnosis was based exclusively on clinical history and physical examination. The treatment of BPPV without nystagmus was made by Epley maneuvers, Semont, discharge modified for posterior semicircular canal and Brandt-Daroff exercises. All show that 50% to 97.1% of patients with BPPV without nystagmus, had remission of symptoms, while patients with BPPV nystagmus with remission of symptoms ranged from 76% to 100%. Hence one can conclude that the differences may not be significant, which demonstrates the need for further studies on BPPV without nystagmus. In the second paper, Functional Capacity of Elderly with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, compared the functional capacity among elderly patients with BPPV and elderly without clinical diagnosis of BPPV and that / or dizziness or vertigo, identifying the physical activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living in elderly people in both the Group of Elderly with BPPV (EBPPVG) and Control Group (CG). This is a cross-sectional study, case-control study in Hospital Geral de Goiânia (HGG), with the participation of 14 elderly patients with a diagnosis of BPPV and the Programa de Gerontologia Social / Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade (UNATI) from the Pontificia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC-GO), with the participation of 13 subjects without dizziness or vertigo and / or clinical diagnosis was of BPPV. Functional capacity was assessed by the subscale of the Functional Assessment Questionnaire Brazilian Multidimensional Functional Capacity / Operating Older American Resources and Services Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire (BOMFAQ/OARS), verifying that the difficulty in performing 15 activities of daily living (ADL), eight physical activities of daily living (AFVD): throw / out of bed, eating, combing hair, walk on the plane, bathing, dressing, going to the bathroom in time and trimming toenails, and seven instrumental activities of living daily living (IADL): climbing stairs (one flight), doctor-on time, walk close to home, shopping, preparing meals, driving out and do house cleaning. Arrived at the following conclusions: a) elderly people with BPPV showed a statistically significant lower functional capacity than subjects without this diagnosis, b) in EBPPVG, the average number of daily activities (physical and instrumental), those with difficulty was 6.53 with a maximum of 11 activities committed while in the CG, the average impairment was 0.86 with a maximum of 4 activities referred with difficulty in performing c) EBPPVG affected performance in 13 activities of daily living, including physical seventh floor in the plan, bathing, dressing, combing hair, going to the bathroom in time, bedtime and getting up from bed or chair and cut nails feet, and 6 which are instrumental, climbing stairs, walking around the house, shopping, preparing meals, driving out and do house cleaning in the comparison between groups, d) Activities that were cited as the most difficult among the elderly were similar in both groups. However, the degree of impairment, characterized in: without commitment (when the elderly did not report any difficulty in any of the 15 evaluated ADL), mild (1 to 3 activities impaired), moderate (4-6 impaired activities) and severe (for seven or more impaired activities) was significantly higher in EBPPVG, where 7 (50%) showed severe impairment in ADL performance.
