Abstract

Certain peripheral vertigos undoubtedly do not raise from neuro-sensorial structures but rather of the secretory structures and can be called "endolymphatic". They deserve to be individualized because concerning different pathogenic mechanisms and certainly are relevant for a specific treatment. We hope that in the next years new investigation tools will allow to explore in a noninvasive way the endolymphatic contents and dysfunctions of these structures.
