AND OBJECTIVES: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is among the most prevalent chronic neuro-otologic disorders, affecting 15%-20% of adults seen in neurology and specialized dizziness clinics. Classified as a functional vestibular disorder with established diagnostic criteria, PPPD typically follows peripheral or central otoneurological disorders....

Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
Evidence is too preliminary to change diagnostic or management practice for PPPD; clinicians may note bodily self disturbances as a candidate marker to watch as validation studies emerge.
If validated, bodily self disturbances as a clinical marker could improve early identification and sub-typing of PPPD, one of the most common chronic vestibular disorders seen in neuro-otology and audiology-adjacent vestibular clinics.
- 01PPPD is among the most prevalent chronic neuro-otologic disorders in adults.
- 02Bodily self disturbances (altered sense of one's own body in space) are proposed as a novel clinical marker for PPPD.
- 03The study is published in Neurology: Clinical Practice, a peer-reviewed journal.
- 04The marker could aid diagnosis and potentially guide sub-typing of PPPD patients.
- 05Further validation studies are needed before clinical adoption.
Bodily self disturbances represent a new clinical marker for Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD).
