Abstract

Objectives: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic functional vestibular disorder that may have normal physical examination, clinical laboratory testing and vestibular evaluation. However, advances in neuroimaging have provided new insights in brain functional connectivity and structure in patients with PPPD. This systematic review was aimed at identifying significant structural or alterations in functional connectivity in patients with PPPD. Databases Reviewed: Science Direct, Pubmed, Embase via Ovid databases, and Cochrane library. Methods: This review following the guidelines of PRISMA, systematically and independently examined papers published up to March 2021 which fulfilled the predetermined criteria. PROSPERO Registration (CRD42020222334). Results: A total of 15 studies were included (MRI = 4, SPECT = 1, resting state fMRI = 4, task-based fMRI = 5, task-based fMRI + MRI = 1). Significant changes in the gray matter volume, cortical folding, blood flow, and connectivity were seen at different brain regions involved in vestibular, visual, emotion, and motor processing. Conclusion: There is a multisensory dimension to the impairment resulting in chronic compensatory changes in PPPD that is evident by the significant alterations in multiple networks involved in maintaining balance. These changes observed offer some explanation for the symptoms that a PPPD patient may experience. Systematic Review Registration: This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020222334).
