Investigate the differential diagnoses of recurrent benign paroxysmal positional vertigo from vestibular function and auditory function.

Key Points

• This research aims to clarify the diagnostic differences of recurrent benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (rBPPV) using vestibular and auditory functions.
• Analyzed oVEMP and cVEMP elicitation rates in rBPPV cases.
• Evaluated caloric and vHIT test results.
• Considered other vertigo disorders like VM that could mimic rBPPV.
• Reduced oVEMP elicitation rate and unilateral cVEMP are associated with rBPPV.
• Abnormal caloric test and vHIT findings may indicate rBPPV.
• Function impairment in otolith and semicircular canals serves as crucial indicators for rBPPV diagnosis.
