Otolithiasis is caused by the dislodgment of otoliths stimulating the endolymphatic fluid in the semicircular canals, and the short paroxysmal episodes of vertigo and nystagmus that occur when the head moves rapidly to a particular head position. There is no relationship between otolithiasis and the height of pillows, and its etiology is generally divided into two categories, idiopathic and secondary.
The causes of idiopathic otolithiasis are generally divided into two categories, idiopathic and secondary. Secondary otolithiasis may be associated with Meniere’s disease, sudden deafness, viral labyrinthitis, ischemia of the internal auditory canal artery, migraine, head trauma, middle ear and inner ear surgery, cochlear implants, ototoxic drug damage, otosclerosis, chronic otitis media, and cervical vertigo, and so on.
Patients with otolithosis have nothing to do with the height of the pillow, patients should go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to take regular treatment measures to avoid aggravation of the condition.
