Short, recurrent episodes of vertigo when carrying out certain lateralization and extension movements of the head. In implant dentistry, it may be a postoperative complication following surgery in the maxilla where osteotomes were used.A disorder of the inner ear (labyrinth) characterized by intermittent attacks of vertigo triggered by positional changes of the head. Each episode of vertigo may last from less than a minute to a few minutes, with varying degrees of symptom severity. Episodes may recur for weeks intermittently over a period of years.
