Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo | Dislodged otoliths stimulate vestibular sense organ | Recurrent vertigo, nausea, vomiting, torsional nystagmus |

Otosclerosis | Abnormal bone growth in middle ear | Vertigo, tinnitus and, sensorineural hearing loss |
Perilymphatic fistula | Abnormal connection between the middle ear and inner ear | Fullness/pressure in the ear, vertigo, hearing loss/sensitive hearing |
Differentiating Vertigo from other Diseases
