Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Clinical features in 34 cases and review of literature

P M Bourgeois et al. Acta Neurol Belg. 1988 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The clinical features of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are analysed in 34 patients. These features are detectable by careful examination and are explained by an abnormal stimulation of a posterior semicircular canal of the labyrinth. Cupulolithiasis could be the mechanism which makes this cupula gravity-sensitive.
