BPPV is explained by migration of otoconia ‘inner ear crystals’ into the semicircular canals of the inner ear. Rendering them sensitive to head motion. BPPV is the most common cause of dizziness with a lifetime prevalence of 2.4%. BPPV accounts for 24.1% of all hospital visits due to dizziness. BPPV treatment, repositioning techniques, have a success rate of 75% for multi-canal to 95.8% for the most common canal (Posterior Semicircular Canal). Step into 2022 without veering!
