ABSTRACT

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a most common vestibular disorder. Generally, BPPV is known to occur primarily in adults and is rare in children. Especially BPPV of horizontal semicircular canal (HSC) is known to be extremely rare in children. We report a case of BPPV of HSC in a 7-year-old child and also define the features of the disease.
