Temporal Bone Histopathology of Undiagnosed Dizziness in the Elderly.

We demonstrated some peripheral vestibular pathological findings such as deposit within the semicircular canal, vestibular nerve loss, and vestibular atelectasis and suggested the possible diagnosis of dizziness (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, presbyvestibulopathy, vestibular atelectasis). These findings will provide a better insight into the multiple etiologies of the unknown dizziness in the elderly.
