Investigations:
* Among the [[patients]] who present with clinical [[signs]] of BPPV, the [[Dix-Hallpike test|Dix-Hallpike maneuver]] is the most specific test for the [[diagnosis]].


The following result of [gold standard test] is confirmatory of [disease name]:
===== Diagnostic results =====
* [Result 1]
The following findings are confirmatory for BPPV:
* [Result 2]
* Recurrent brief  [[vertigo]] attack which starts with certain [[head]] movements.
* [[Nystagmus]] on [[Dix-Hallpike test|Dix-Hallpike  maneuver]].


OR
===== Sequence of Diagnostic Studies =====
 
The various investigations must be performed in the following order:
[Name of the investigation] must be performed when:
* [[Patient history]]
* The patient presents with [symptom/sign 1], [symptom/sign 2], and [symptom/sign 3].
* [[Physical examination]] ([[Dix-Hallpike test|Dix-Hall pike maneuver]])
* A [name of test] is positive for [sign 1], [sign 2], and [sign 3] in the patient.
If patients doesn't respond to treatment or doesn't show the typical [[nystagmus]] on [[Dix-Hallpike test|Dix-Hall pike maneuver]], in order to rule out other abnormalities we may perform some additional test such as:
 
* [[Electronystagmography]] (ENG) or video nystagmography (VNG)
OR
* [[Audiometry]]
 
* [[Neuroimaging]]
[Name of the investigation] is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [disease name].

Overview

The diagnostic study of choice for BPPV is patient history and observing nystagmus on Dix-Hall pike maneuver.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNBJLed_Slc&t=4s%7C500}}

Study of choice

The diagnostic study of choice for BPPV is patient history and observing nystagmus on Dix-Hall pike maneuver.[1][2][3]

Investigations:

Diagnostic results

The following findings are confirmatory for BPPV:

Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The various investigations must be performed in the following order:

If patients doesn't respond to treatment or doesn't show the typical nystagmus on Dix-Hall pike maneuver, in order to rule out other abnormalities we may perform some additional test such as:

Diagnostic criteria for posterial canal BPPV

Subtypes Explanation
History
  • Brief recurrent vertigo attack starts with change in head position
Physical exam
  • Vertigo and nystagmus after Dix-Hall pike maneuver
  • Brief delay between performing Dix-Hall pike maneuver and vertigo
  • The vertigo and nystagmus will resolve after 60 seconds
