Right Dix-Hallpike Test
Below are videos of seven different patients whose right Dix-Hallpike test was positive. Note: Unsustained refers to nystagmus lasting less than a minute and is typical of canalithiasis. Geotropic nystagmus refers to nystagmus beating towards the ground.
Left Dix-Hallpike Test
Below are videos of eight different patients whose left Dix-Hallpike test was positive. Note: Unsustained refers to nystagmus lasting less than a minute and is typical of canalithiasis. Geotropic nystagmus refers to nystagmus beating towards the ground.
