The inner ear contains three major sensory receptors: the crista of the semicircular canals for sensing angular acceleration, the macule of the utricle and saccule for sensing linear acceleration, and the organ of Corti of the cochlea for sensing sound. Vertigo is an illusion of movement—usually spinning or turning but occasionally linear movement or tilt. Abnormalities of the inner ear or its connections in the brain cause an illusion of movement—vertigo. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is by far the most common cause of vertigo. Sudden violent spells of spinning are triggered by a change in position, such as turning over in bed, getting in and out of bed, and extending the head back to look up. This book tells the story of how the cause of BPPV was discovered and how a simple bedside cure was developed.
