Abstract
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a clinical syndrome characterized by brief recurrent episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position with respect to gravity. BPPV is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo, with a lifetime prevalence of 2.4%. In this review article, the diagnosis of BPPV involving the posterior, horizontal and anterior semicircular canal are described.
