Otolithiasis is a disease caused mainly by the dislodgement of otoliths attached to the otolithic membrane, which change position in the endolymphatic fluid in response to head movements, thus irritating the semicircular canals. This disease usually has no signs before the onset of the disease, once the symptoms such as rotational vertigo, indicating that the disease already exists, so the early 4 signs, is false.
The cause of some otolithiasis is not clear, and some of them may be related to nerve and ear diseases. The disease is self-limiting to some extent, and even if no effective measures are taken, some of the patients can be relieved by themselves, but most of the patients need to be treated with reset, according to the type of vertigo, and take medicines such as flunarizine hydrochloride capsules under the guidance of the doctor.
Rarely, severe cases may even need to be treated by semicircular canal blockage.
Although otolithiasis is not life-threatening, the strong feeling of vertigo and dizziness will have an impact on the patient’s normal life and work, so once you have the disease, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
