A medical term derived from the Greek otos, ear, and lithos, stone. Carbonate crystals present in the canals of the inner ear that inform about the physical balance of the body. When they come out of the utricle, they generate paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is solved with the Semont and Epley maneuvers.
