Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with the first episode of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo before and after repositioning.

CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: cVEMP abnormalities in patients with BPPV indicate saccular dysfunction accompanying utricular dysfunction which seems to be confined to the symptomatic side at least in the early phase of the disease. Partial recovery can be seen after treatment with residual findings following even the first attack.
