Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dizziness and vertigo are among the most frequently encountered symptoms in primary care, with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) being the commonest type of vertigo. Its clinical course may vary considerably from a self-treatable to a persisting and/or recurrent disabling problem, with as yet unidentified prognostic factors. Although it is named as such, there are a considerable number of patients who do not perceive it as a benign disease, but rather as an incapacitating condition that restricts their routine activities and has a significant impact on their quality of life [1, 2].
