summary

Otolith is a kind of paroxysmal vertigo caused by head position change lasting less than 30 seconds. The incidence rate is about 64/10000, which occurs in the middle and old age. It accounts for 17% to 22% of all vertigo patients. It usually has the following characteristics.

Otolith etiology and symptoms?

1、 Incubation period: symptoms appear several seconds after head position change. It usually occurs when the patient lies to the left or right and turns his head, with a latency of several seconds; Some of them have no latency, once they turn to the induced position, rotational vertigo will appear immediately. The vertigo disappeared immediately after changing the head position, so the patient was forced to take a fixed position for a long time.

2、 Duration: gradually strong, gradually weak, transient, reversible, fatigue. Vertigo only lasts for tens of seconds, generally not more than 1 minute, and may be accompanied by varying degrees of nausea.

3、 Adaptability: easy to fatigue. When repeatedly induced postures, induced vertigo can be alleviated in a short time, which is called "fatigue" in medicine. Because of its fatigue, short duration and no tinnitus, hard of hearing and other characteristics, we regard it as otolithiasis.
