Popis:	Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequent vestibular disorder and a most common cause of dizziness and vertigo. The modern canalolithiasis theory postulates the existence of free-floating dense otolithic particles in the endolymph of the posterior semicircular canal. The symptoms were exactly described by Dix and Hallpike; BPPV is normally a self-limited disease with spontaneous recovery. There is however a small number of patients who do not respond to any treatment or who present with otolithic vertigo which does not fit all Dix-Hallpike criteria (atypical BPPV). While BPPV in its typical appearance cannot be diagnosed with radiologic imaging, the authors succeeded in identifying structural changes in the vestibular organs of patients suffering from intractable or atypical BPPV using three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging.
