The Dix-Hallpike test is typically performed in a doctor's office. The doctor will ask you to sit upright on an exam table with your legs stretched out in front of you and your head turned to one side. They will then ask you to lower your head and torso back so that you end up lying with your head stretched off the edge of the exam table, turned with one ear down at a 45-degree angle. If there are misplaced calcium deposits (also called canaliths) in the posterior canal of your inner ear, this will trigger vertigo symptoms.  4, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver

Le diagnostic sera confirmé par la manœuvre de Dix et Hallpike, qui consiste à reproduire le vertige en basculant le patient vers le côté déclenchant (le sujet, assis jambes pendantes au milieu de la table d'examen, est rapidement couché par l'examinateur vers le côté supposé atteint). La manœuvre est positive lorsqu'elle provoque un vertige et/ou des mouvements des yeux (appelés nystagmus) que le médecin va observer.  2, record 1, French, - manoeuvre%20de%20Dix%2DHallpike
