Head trauma can cause benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and may be an overlooked complication. This is a review of the literature on BPPV following head trauma. Studies indicate, that 11-57% of patients with vertigo after head trauma can be diagnosed with BPPV. BPPV occurs after mild to severe head trauma. The reposition chair is expected to help diagnosing and treating patients with traumatic BPPV, particularly in more resistant cases. Outreach efforts towards this group of patients could decrease the number of sick days.
头部创伤可导致良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV），这可能是一种被忽视的并发症。本文是对头部创伤后BPPV的文献综述。研究表明，头部创伤后出现眩晕的患者中，11% - 57%可被诊断为BPPV。BPPV可发生于轻至重度头部创伤后。复位椅有望有助于诊断和治疗创伤性BPPV患者，尤其是在更具挑战性的病例中。针对这类患者的宣传工作可以减少病假天数。
