Difficult title[change source]

It might be a good idea to explain the meaning of the words in the title in the opening of the article. As I understand them benign means not harmful or dangerous, paroxysmal means it keeps happening, and vertigo is dizziness.--Peterdownunder (talk) 20:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

given our audience, I doubt many people search for these terms. Might also create a redirect from a "common name" of the condition...--Eptalon (talk) 21:00, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An explanation of the title would of be useful. I'll get around to it, unless someone else wants to do it. There however is no common name as far as I know. Perhaps someone can create a type of disambiguation page for "Dizziness", which could then have listings of different conditions that cause "dizziness". The information on the English Wikipedia notwithstanding:

"Benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood is quite common but is seldom correctly diagnosed owing to general practitioners' unfamiliarity with the condition". 7mike5000 (talk) 21:16, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
