The etiology of benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (h-BPPV) of the horizontal semicircular is unknown. Insight was obtained from two patients with h-BPPV and associated hearing impairment. Based on the different inner ear lesion patterns in neurolabyrinthitis contrary to ischemic labyrinthine infarction we assessed multiple vestibulo-cochlear functions for the first time in two patients who suffered from h-BPPV with sudden unilateral hearing loss. While in patient no. 1 the lesion pattern (posterior canal paresis in addition to the sudden hearing loss) could possibly be caused by ischemia of the common cochlear artery, the lesion pattern of patient no. 2 (hearing loss and ipsilateral paresis of the posterior and horizontal semicircular canal) exceeds the typical vascular labyrinthine territories and may indicate viral neurolabyrinthitis.
