ABSTRACT

The most frequent cause of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, a clinical entity that has several characteristics that can and should be recognized by any doctor, but above all by specialists involved in the study of balance disorders. In its long, apparently complicated name, several of the clinical characteristics that define it are implicit, so its diagnosis. In its most frequent variety, is quite simple, totally clinical, it does not require cabinet, laboratory or image studies and its treatment is immediate and highly effective. In this paper we review the most useful diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers to identify and treat it adequately.
