Abstract

In this article, we present a 23-month-old girl case with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the horizontal canal. The patient was admitted with the complaints of sudden-onset rapid eye movement and vomiting while rocking the baby to sleep. A significant horizontal nystagmus was observed in the right supine roll test. After a right barbecue maneuver, nystagmus and anxiety in the supine position were observed to be improved. The patient had no similar complaints during a six-month follow-up.
