Where this comes from

Abstract

It is our hypothesis that three distinct syndromes of vertigo (ie, labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, and BPPV), which arise from a malfunction of the vestibular labyrinth, are in fact a spectrum of disorders all resulting from the presence of free-floating particles within the vestibular fluid chambers.
