Labyrinthitis
Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear that is often a complication of
otitis media. It is caused by the spread of bacterial or viral infections from the head or
respiratory tract into the inner ear.
Labyrinthitis is characterized by dizziness or feelings of motion sickness caused by
disturbance of the sense of balance.
