Please note the following:
• The eye movements demonstrated in the video are not real examples of nystagmus.
• Eye twitching (nystagmus) must be present for a BPPV diagnosis. Feeling dizzy without nystagmus is not sufficient for a BPPV diagnosis.
• We are not EENT specialists, and different sources may have varying opinions on which eye movements are related to which specific canal.
• In this video, we are discussing benign vertigo (BPPV). However, not all cases of vertigo are benign. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the RED FLAG SIGNS.

RED FLAG SIGNS
