- What it is: Otoconia displaced into a semicircular canal (ear crystals where they shouldn’t be).
- Classic signs: Brief vertigo (<60 sec), triggered by position changes, upbeating torsional nystagmus, no hearing loss.
- Rule-in test: Dix-Hallpike.
- Rule-out clues: Long-lasting vertigo, neuro deficits, hearing symptoms → think neuritis/Ménière’s.
- NPTE trap: Nystagmus >60 seconds = NOT typical BPPV (think cupulolithiasis).
- Best treatment: Epley every. single. time.
- Mock question included: Yes — test yourself before you move on.
Listen in and pass this question forever in under 3 minutes.
