BPPV was first dicribed by Adler and Barany, who described it as a problem in the otolith organs.

In 1952, Margaret Dix and Charles Hallpike named it positional nystagmus of the benign positional type.
They noted nystagmus and vertigo with different head movements.
Hallpike also defined it as a peripheral problem rather than central (brain) problem.
In 1824 Marie-Jean Flourens concluded that semicircular canals are not a hearing organ but a balance-related organ.
In 1962 Harold Schuknecht described theory of detached utricular otoconia (cupulolithiasis)
Hall et al and Epley described the theory of free floating particle (canalithiasis)

The following are a few famous cases of [disease name]:
