Positional Nystagmus of Benign Paroxysmal Type (BPPN) Due to Cerebellar Vermis Lesions:Pseudo-BPPN

Cost‐effective management of benign positional vertigo using canalith repositioning

“…We contend that patients rendered asymptomatic after CRP can be safely watched without obtaining a multitude of expensive diagnostic tests. While keeping in mind that BPPV can exist concurrently with other neurotologic diagnoses such as Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, and even intracranial neoplasms, we believe that if there is indeed an underlying problem, it will manifest itself in its own right regardless of CRP treatment 3 , 11 , 12 , 19 . CRP only relocates the canaliths from the semicircular canals to the vestibule.…”
