Vestibulopathy
Any abnormality in the vestibular (balance) system. An example of vestibulopathy is Meniere's disease, which is characterized by dizziness, vomiting, nausea, ringing in the ears, and other symptoms due to inflammation of a tube in the ear. The word vestibulopathy comes from the Latin word, "vestibulum," meaning "courtyard," and the Greek word "pathos," meaning "suffering." The word "vestibule" refers to an opening in the ear that is called the vestibule. It is called a vestibule because it is an open area, like a courtyard. So vestibulopathy is "suffering in the open area" (of the ear).
