Seasonality and Cardio-Cerebrovascular Risk Factors for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo, especially in the elderly. Several studies have revealed a possible seasonality to BPPV. However, whether the seasonality of BPPV also exists in China is unclear.

Evaluation of the utricular and saccular function using oVEMPs and cVEMPs in BPPV patients
Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2016 Background It is well-known that ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) predominantly reflect utricular function whilst cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) reflect saccular function.
