COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-COVID-19). The WHO first learned about this new virus on December 31, 2019, following a report on a group of cases of \u201cviral pneumonia\u201d in Wuhan, People\u2019s Republic of China, and declared a pandemic in March 2020. The disease was an almost complete unknown at the outset, but knowledge of its pathophysiology, clinical picture, and treatment options grew and developed rapidly. Objective. Dizziness is a very common symptom that patients report in routine clinical practice and one of the significant clinical manifestations of COVID-19. This short report investigated a possible connection between COVID-19 and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods. We present two cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which developed within two weeks of SARS-COVID-19 infection, manifesting with mild disease severity in early November 2020. Results. In both cases, the disease manifested by severe, short-lived attacks of vertigo, objective-circular type, with accompanying nausea and vomiting. The symptoms occurred when lying in bed and turning to the right and assuming an upright position. The diagnosis of posterior semicircular canal BPPV (PC-BPPV) was made based on a subjectively and objectively positive right-sided Dix\u2013Hallpike test. Conclusions. The pathophysiology of post-COVID BPPV is probably similar to that of other viral infections, with some of its specificities such as inducing hypercoagulation and microthrombus formation, which can cause significant circulatory disorders possibly affecting its pathogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9967555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,2]],"date-time":"2021-06-02T04:59:16Z","timestamp":1622609956000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Post-COVID-19 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6480-8146","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sini\u0161a","family":"Maslovara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Neurosurgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health, University of Osijek, Osijek, Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, National Memorial Hospital, Vukovar, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7864-2060","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andro","family":"Ko\u0161ec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Zagreb School of Medicine, University Hospital Center \u201cSestre Milosrdnice\u201d, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","article-title":"Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)","author":"World Health Organization"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14336\/ad.2020.0620"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40121-020-00295-5"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2020.116969"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2020.1127"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0145561320959573"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbi.2020.03.031"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/003591575204500604"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejm199911183412107"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459989210700310"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijantimicag.2020.105949"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.2013.0505"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/00989134-20061201-04"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"710","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2006.100420","article-title":"Epidemiology of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a population based study","volume":"78","author":"M. von Brevern","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatr"},{"issue":"2","key":"15","first-page":"151","article-title":"The mechanics of benign paroxysmal vertigo","volume":"8","author":"S.
