Objective: This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of persistent geotropic and apogeotropic positional nystagmus of LC-BPPV in view of light and heavy cupula discussion. Material and method: The study group includes 184 patients with LC BPPV (98 apogeotropic, 86 geotropic type) who have been examined between 2009 and 2020. Ninety-nine females and 85 males, aged between 16 and 92 years were included (Ageotropic 49.32 ± 14.12, geotropic 44.49 ± 13.90 years). Average slow phase velocity (SPV) of positional nystagmus was documented and those with persistent direction-changing positional nystagmus lasting more than a minute were grouped separately. Age, gender difference, side of involvement, and recurrence pattern were particularly reviewed. Chi-square and One way ANOVA tests were used to compare the difference between groups. Statistical significance was set at P
