Abstract
A number of cases with typical positioning vertigo (BPPV) show a unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH) by caloric testing. However, treatment by habituation exercises (VHT) improves vertigo independently of the presence of UVH. Moreover, VHT has no influence upon the results of caloric and rotation tests. These findings prove the independence of the pathogenetic mechanisms of the peripheral vestibular disturbances UVH and BPPV.Entities:
