Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common condition that affects elderly people and it increases their risk of falling significantly. BPPV is underdiagnosed and therefore undertreated in primary and community health services and the symptoms are frequently misinterpreted for symptoms of a sinister pathology such as stroke or brain tumour.
