Abstract：Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a paroxysmal short episode of vertigo caused by head posi-tion changes accompanied by characteristic nystagmus, and the most common vestibular disorder. Posterior semicircular ca-nal BPPV (-BPPV) is the most common type of BPPV. Dix-Hallpike test has been recommended as a"gold diagnostic stan-dard"for PSC-BPPV and Epley maneuver is the most effective method for treating PSC-BPPV. Horizontal Semicircular Ca-nal BPPV (HSC-BPPV) is second common only to the PSC-BPPV, although its actual incidence may have been underestimat-ed. However, Diagnosis and treatment of HSC-BPPV are not the same as PSC-BPPV. History, research, epidemiology, classi-fication, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment developments relevant to HSC-BPPV are reviewed in this article.
