  • 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)
