In the published article, the reference for 29 was incorrectly written as Yu J, Yu Q, Guan B, Lu Y, Chen C, Yu S. Pseudo-benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo: a retrospective study and case report.
It should be Power L, Murray K, Bullus K, Drummond KJ, Trost N, Szmulewicz DJ. Central conditions mimicking benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo: a case series.
In the published article, the reference for 31 was incorrectly written as Power L, Murray K, Bullus K, Drummond KJ, Trost N, Szmulewicz DJ. Central conditions mimicking benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo: a case series.
It should be Power L, Murray K, Szmulewicz DJ. Characteristics of assessment and treatment in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
In the published article, the reference for 33 was incorrectly written as Roberts RA, Gans RE, Kastner AH. Differentiation of migrainous positional vertigo (MPV) from horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV).
It should be Yu J, Yu Q, Guan B, Lu Y, Chen C, Yu S. Pseudo-benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo: a retrospective study and case report.
In the published article, the reference for 116 was incorrectly written as Power L, Murray K, Szmulewicz DJ. Characteristics of assessment and treatment in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
It should be Lee S-H, Kim JS. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
In the published article, there was an error made in correctly attributing four references. A correction has been made to
“Suspicion of central positional vertigo may be raised with an absence of latency or fatigability of nystagmus, a lack of marked vertigo, pure upbeat or downbeat nystagmus, or as a lack of responsiveness to CRM (31). Therefore, it is recommended that a diagnosis of BPPV can only be made if the supine roll maneuver Semont or Dix-Hallpike tests elicit nystagmus that is consistent with BPPV; any features of the nystagmus not consistent with BPPV should raise suspicion of central pathology and warrant further investigation (31).
There is increasing evidence about the association between vestibular migraine (VM) and BPPV (29). Despite their similarities, BPPV can be differentiated from VM by the direction of the nystagmus and the duration of the symptoms (32, 33). Although there is generally no positional nystagmus in VM, pseudo-BPPV is a complex mix of positional, atypical positional and non-positional vertigo accompanied by migraine features; the ability to distinguish pseudo-BPPV from other vertigo disease has great clinical significance for treatment (29).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
