Serous Labyrinthitis

Serous labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the labyrinth, an inner-ear structure related to balance and hearing, in which irritation occurs without there necessarily being an infection with pus.

Frequent symptoms: It usually causes vertigo or a spinning sensation, unsteadiness, ringing in the ear, and, at times, reduced hearing or nausea associated with the dizziness.

Common causes: It can appear in connection with inflammatory processes of the ear or nearby respiratory passages that affect the inner ear.

Which specialist treats it? The one who evaluates disorders of the ear and balance is the otolaryngologist. If you have persistent vertigo or changes in your hearing, the recommended step is to seek a professional evaluation that clarifies the origin of the discomfort.
