Although head trauma, migraine, longterm bed rest, Menie're disease, viral labyrinthitis, and upper respiratory tract infections are believed to be predisposing factors, most cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are idiopathic. Ear surgery is another cause, but after nonotologic surgery, attacks of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are rare. We describe three cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo attacks after non-otologic surgery (one patient after a nasal septoplasty and two patients after dental endodontic treatment) and discuss the pathophysiological mechanismof benign paroxysmal positional vertigo seen after non-otologic surgery, its diagnosis and treatmentenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBenign paroxysmal positional vertigoDental surgeryNasal septoplastyarticle141S113S1150002194952000282-s2.0-84962900724
