Overview

In clinical practice we often encounter position-related vertigo. Correct differential diagnosis is of principal significance for selection of therapeutic procedure. The available literature (2, 4, 9) indicates that most frequently occurring position-related vertigo is the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The disease can be diagnosed in most cases by means of specific position tests and subsequently successfully treated. However, principal differences of the clinical picture of BPPV from other kinds of vertigo must be established in order to avoid diagnostic and therapeutic errors.

Key words:
position-related vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, reposition maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation
