Question

Pablo sufre vértigos y mareos, pero no tiene ningunproblemade audición. Acude a su medico de familia, quien lo envía al otorrino. ¿Por qué crees que debe examinarle este especialista, si oye bien?

Answer 1

Pablo suffers from vertigo and dizziness, but he does not have any hearing problem. He went to his family doctor, who sent him to the otorrino. Why do you think this specialist should examine him, if he hears correctly?

Vertigo is a sensation of movement or spinning that is often described as dizziness.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of vertigos: the peripheral ones, that affect the vestibular system of the inner ear and the central ones, which are the ones that affect the brain; and the central vertigo, which is due to a problem in the brain, usually in the brain stem or the back of the brain or cerebellu. This is the reason why the peripheral should be treated by specialists in otorhinolaryngology and the central by neurologists.
