Head trauma is the most frequent cause of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in patients younger than 50 years, and finding the aetiology of post-traumatic dizziness can be challenging. This case report presents a 45-year-old male patient suffering from positional dizziness after head trauma. He was diagnosed in a reposition chair, after manual manoeuvres had failed to provide the diag-nosis. The role of a reposition chair in diagnosing post-traumatic BPPV has not been demonstrated before, and this case illustrates, how the chair can help to clarify the diagnosis.
头部外伤是50岁以下患者发生良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV）最常见的原因，而查明创伤后头晕的病因可能具有挑战性。本病例报告介绍了一名45岁男性患者，他在头部外伤后出现位置性头晕。在手法复位未能确诊后，他在复位椅上得到了诊断。此前尚未证实复位椅在诊断创伤后BPPV中的作用，本病例说明了该椅子如何有助于明确诊断。
