 | | Investigation of benign problems essentially follows the same principles of "triple assessment" that are used in breast cancer. | | | Women who come to the clinic with a lump that is thought to be a fibroadenoma, still need to have full triple assessment to confirm the diagnosis, and more importantly, to exclude cancer. | | | Therefore, even though fibroadenomas are benign, if there is any doubt that the patient may have a Phyllodes tumour, excision biopsy should be performed. |

| | Its name, BPPV, indicates that it is benign, or not a very serious or progressive condition; paroxysmal, meaning sudden and unpredictable in onset; positional, because it comes about with a change in head position; and vertigo, causing a sense of room-spinning or whirling, often expressed as "dizziness". | | | Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear problem that results in short lasting, but severe, room-spinning vertigo. | | | Jeffrey P.

Although prolonged therapy with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) after the first few months of life probably is not warranted, patients (when of appropriate age) and their parents should be counseled regarding the increased risk of subsequent seizures. | | | Two syndromes in which no metabolic, hypoxic-ischemic, or structural etiology is apparent are benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC) and benign idiopathic neonatal convulsions (BINC). |
