Variants of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in relation to head position during sleep

CONCLUSIONS: A habitual affected-ear-down head position during sleep may contribute to BPPV-canalolithiasis and light cupula onset, but not BPPV-cupulolithiasis onset. However, habitual sleeping in the right-ear-down head position cannot explain the predominance of right-affected ears.PMID:34633334 | DOI:10.3233/VES-180616
