Abstract		Background. Episodes of vertigo are common complain in patients seen by otorhinolaryngologists. One of the causes are free floating inorganic particles in the endolymph of the inner ear. Typical nystagmus and lack of other neurological findings support peripheral, labyrinthine lesion. Methods and results. There were 301 patients with vertigo included in prospective study. In 26 of them BPPV was confirmed. The treatment was successful in 24. Conclusions. BPPV is a labyrinthopathy that we do not think of enough. Although etiology often remains unclear the diagnosis is important because of successful and simple treatment.
Summary		Izhodišča. Vrtoglavica je pogost simptom, ki ga srečujemo v otorinolaringoloških ambulantah. Eden od vzrokov so prosto plavajoči precipitati v endolimfi notranjega ušesa. Značilni nistagmus in pomanjkanje drugih nevroloških znakov potjujejo periferno, labirintno okvaro. Metode in rezultati. V prospektivno raziskavo smo zajeli 301 bolnika z vrtoglavico in ugotovili pri 26, to je 8,6 odst., benigno parpksizmalno položajno vrtoglavico (BPPV). Zdravljenje je bilo uspešno kar pri 24. Zaključki. BPPV je labirintopatija, na katero pri bolnikih z vrtoglavico premalokrat pomislimo. Čeprav je etiologija velikokrat nejasna, je pravočasna spoznava pomembna zaradi uspešnega in enostavnega zdravljenja.
