Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a debilitating condition. BPPV is a peripheral vestibular disorder, and people with this condition experience varying levels of dizziness. BPPV, in most patients, is often overlooked as vertigo and dizziness may be triggered by an underlying chronic disease and disorder. Patients may be misdiagnosed or have delayed diagnosis, resulting in unnecessary health procedures. In this study, we present two cases of BPPV in a 29-year-old female and a 32-year-old male, who presented initially with fracture of the angle of left mandibles, which were treated surgically. Both patients developed BPPV secondary to head trauma leading to mandibular fracture. It is important to diagnose and treat BPPV early to prevent long-term disability.
良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV）是一种使人衰弱的病症。BPPV是一种外周前庭疾病，患有这种病症的人会经历不同程度的头晕。在大多数患者中，BPPV常常被忽视，因为眩晕和头晕可能由潜在的慢性疾病和病症引发。患者可能会被误诊或诊断延迟，从而导致不必要的医疗程序。在本研究中，我们报告了两例BPPV病例，一例为29岁女性，另一例为32岁男性，他们最初均表现为左下颌角骨折，并接受了手术治疗。两名患者均因头部外伤导致下颌骨折继发BPPV。早期诊断和治疗BPPV以预防长期残疾很重要。
