Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), also known as otolithiasis, is most commonly characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo. Typically, these episodes of vertigo are short-lived, lasting just a few seconds, and are closely related to changes in body or head position. Vertigo can be triggered by changes in head position and quickly disappears once the head is stabilized. Furthermore, there are no accompanying symptoms of tinnitus, headache, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Diagnosis can be confirmed through clinical symptoms and positional testing. After diagnosis, manual repositioning treatments can be considered, and most patients respond well to this treatment.
