Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) in pediatric patients after COVID-19 infection.

Background: Patients with long-COVID suffer from symptoms that continue or develop after a COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection and are present for four or more weeks after the initial infection. This case series describes a group of previously healthy adolescent patients with long-COVID who were seen in a pediatric vestibular clinic for evaluation of severe dizziness and were diagnosed with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). By presenting their symptoms, management and treatment effects, this study aims to provide a diagnostic and therapeutic framework for providers who encounter these patients.
