Abstract
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is probably common cause of vertigo. A total of 205 cases reported to ENT OPD for vertigo. Of these 43 patients were found to suffer from BPPV and in our experience BPPV is common condition. BPPV was more common in age group of 4th and 7th decades. The youngest patient reported was 41 years and the oldest patient was 78 years with a mean of 56.5. In this group there were 16 females and 27 males. This is a retrospective case study of 205 cases presenting with vertigo. The modality of treatment was Epley’s manoeuvre in cases diagnosed with BPPV. The age of patients ranged from 41 to 78 years with mean of 56.5. The over all success rate was 96 %. All cases were instructed to report recurrence and were followed for 1 year.
