Unnecessary magnetic resonance imaging is associated with diagnostic delay and financial burden in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a retrospective study in Mongolia

BPPV patients in Mongolia face significant diagnostic delays and high misdiagnosis rates. While standardized maneuvers are effective, the reliance on costly imaging highlights an urgent need for educational initiatives to improve awareness and primary care triage in developing countries.
