The vestibule of the inner ear is an important part of the inner ear and consists of the oval sac, the globe sac and three pairs of semicircular canals.
The main function of the vestibular organ of the inner ear is to maintain balance. The vestibule of the inner ear is a very important balance organ in the human body by participating in the movement of the eyeballs to sense the angular acceleration and linear acceleration when the body rotates in order to keep the balance of the body to maintain the clarity of the eyeballs when the body moves.
If the patient has a lesion in the vestibule of the inner ear, the patient will have a strong sense of vertigo and balance disorders. This is accompanied by autonomic symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sweating. Usually inner ear vestibular lesions cause benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, i.e. otolithiasis, Meniere’s disease, etc.
When patients experience vertigo, visual rotation and other phenomena, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible for vestibular function examination, to clarify the cause of the disease and target treatment.
