Cerebellar infarction presenting with isolated positional vertigo: differentiating factors for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Increased number of vascular risk factors including male sex suggested more CPV than BPPV. However, the serum vitamin D level was below the normal range in both groups. Our results demonstrate that serum vitamin D level has little value in the differential diagnosis of positional vertigo. Efforts to identify differentiating factors are warranted, and accumulating evidences including our research may lead to a diagnostic algorithm for isolated positional vertigo.
