Hallpike maneuver

, Hallpike-Dix maneuver (hol'pik) [Charles Skinner Hallpike, neurologist, 1900–1979] A test performed to diagnose benign positional vertigo. The patient is moved from a sitting position to recumbency with the head tilted down over the end of the bed and turned toward either shoulder. If vertigo develops after a delay of several seconds, the test is subjectively positive. If vertigo is associated with visible nystagmus, it is objectively positive. Vertigo and nystagmus that occur immediately, rather than after a delay, are suggestive of intracranial, rather than labyrinthine, disease. See: benign positional vertigo
