This article is a stub.
The MSK physician should be familiar with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This is because in chronic BPPV the majority of patients have pain as a major symptom, with 87% of cases in one series. Furthermore, trauma is a major cause of BPPV in those under 50.[1] Remembering that BPPV comes on with neck movements, it is easy to see how a misdiagnosis of "cervical vertigo" can be made when there is a history of trauma and neck pain. Treatment of the BPPV may resolve the pain.[1]
