This program reviews the prevalence, etiology, and classic characteristics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and demonstrates the Dix-Hallpike test and other testing techniques.  Posterior, anterior, and horizontal canal BPPV and variants are discussed. Treatment techniques, including the canalith repositioning procedure, Brandt-Daroff exercise, and liberatory (Semont) maneuver, are demonstrated, with emphasis on selecting treatment appropriate to the form of BPPV.
