Benign Positional Vertigo. also called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo describes a vertigo which is often induced while a patient turns over in bed, or gets in and out of bed. It is a benign disorder, which while it will remit spontaneously, often reappears. It is diagnosed by the use of the Dix Halpike Maneuver. BPV is often cured, just after it is diagnosed, by a maneuver performed by the treating doctor, which dislodges a clot of material from one of the inner ear canals.
