Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: Diagnostic criteria

Michael von Brevern et al. J Vestib Res. 2015.

Abstract

This article presents operational diagnostic criteria for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), formulated by the Committee for Classification of Vestibular Disorders of the Bárány Society. The classification reflects current knowledge of clinical aspects and pathomechanisms of BPPV and includes both established and emerging syndromes of BPPV. It is anticipated that growing understanding of the disease will lead to further development of this classification.

Keywords: Vertigo; criteria; diagnosis; nystagmus; positional.
