Ear stone disease is a relatively common otolaryngological condition, with dizziness being the most common clinical symptom, and some patients may experience vomiting. This is mainly due to severe dizziness symptoms leading to nausea and vomiting. Generally, symptoms will gradually improve after the acute onset, but symptoms can be triggered again when the body or head position is changed to a certain posture. After the onset of the disease, it is necessary to visit the otolaryngology department as soon as possible. Manual repositioning treatment can be considered, and regular follow-up is required during the treatment process, as some patients may experience a recurrence of the condition.

Does otolithiasis cause tinnitus?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a relatively common otolaryngological condition characterized by vertigo that does not involve tinnitus and is associated with changes in body position. The duration of the vertigo is typically very short, usually around 10 seconds, and the symptoms disappear once the head or body position is stabilized. There are no accompanying symptoms such as tinnitus or hearing loss. In terms of treatment, the first choice is usually manual repositioning, which is effective for most patients. If manual repositioning does not yield satisfactory results, treatment may involve using a rotary chair in conjunction with medication. If these methods are ineffective, surgical treatment might be considered.

Does otolithiasis cause headaches?

Ear stone disease, also known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, has two types: primary ear stone disease and secondary ear stone disease. Clinically, ear stone disease mainly manifests as vertigo, as well as symptoms of the vestibular system or autonomic nervous system caused by vertigo, such as nausea and vomiting. Patients with ear stone disease rarely or almost never experience headaches. If headache symptoms are present, they are often accompanied by other diseases, such as hypertension, intracranial lesions, etc. These conditions can also cause ear stone disease, which are referred to as secondary ear stone disease as mentioned above. Therefore, if a patient with ear stone disease develops headache symptoms, active examination should be undertaken to avoid missing other lesions.

Is otolithiasis serious?

Otolithiasis, also known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), is generally not very serious. Most patients can control and alleviate the condition through timely manual repositioning treatments, but the condition may recur. A small number of patients have severe conditions where manual repositioning treatments are not effective. For these cases, machine chair repositioning combined with drug treatment can be considered, and most patients can recover. Only a small number of patients with severe conditions, where repositioning treatments are ineffective and recurring episodes significantly impact daily life, might consider undergoing surgical treatment. Currently, the commonly used technique is semicircular canal occlusion, which generally has good therapeutic effects.

Is medication effective for treating otolithiasis?

Otolithiasis is a relatively common ENT disorder. For treatment, some patients may choose oral medication. After treatment with oral medications, symptoms can gradually be controlled and alleviated for most patients, although individual results may vary. If symptoms of otolithiasis are more pronounced, oral medication alone may not be effective, and manual repositioning treatment should be considered. After manual repositioning treatment, many patients can significantly control symptoms of vertigo, and should then undergo regular follow-up examinations, as some patients may experience recurrent episodes. (Medication should be taken under the guidance of a physician.)

What should I do if otolithiasis frequently occurs?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a relatively common otolaryngologic condition, with some patients experiencing recurrent episodes. After recurrent episodes occur, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngology department for a positional test. This test clarifies the specific location of the affected semicircular canal, and after confirmation, targeted manual repositioning treatments can be conducted. During the treatment process, regular follow-ups are required. At the same time, it is important to protect the head from severe external impacts, avoid vigorous activities in the short term, and ensure adequate rest. Many patients gradually improve and the probability of episodes progressively decreases following these adjustments and treatments.
