Question

there are multiple causes for vertigo and most of them trigger it via a build - up of pressure in the membranous labyrinth. select all conditions that could cause increased pressure in the membranous labyrinth.
□ loose otoliths
□ bacterial infection
□ inflammation
□ excess endolymph

Explanation:

• Bacterial infection can lead to inflammation and fluid - related issues in the inner ear structures. Inflammation causes swelling and can disrupt normal fluid balance. Excess endolymph (the fluid in the membranous labyrinth) directly increases pressure. Loose otoliths (crystals in the inner ear) cause benign paroxysmal positional vertigo by moving inappropriately but do not cause pressure build - up in the membranous labyrinth.

Answer:

B. Bacterial infection, C. Inflammation, D. Excess endolymph
