Our experience with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo has been considered a separate nosological entity. This status is explained by the theories of cupulolithiasis and canalolithiasis. The disorder is treated with training; success was achieved in 88% of our cases, which correlates with the literary data. Trauma and inflammation in the head and neck region may be regarded as possible etiological factors.
