Children complaints dizziness merit meticulous evaluation to differentially diagnose a vestibular disease. A syndrome mimicking certain classic signs and symptoms of adult vestibular disorders may be presents in children, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, usually associated with aging. Benign paroxysmal vertigo, in which migraine is a manifestation, with sudden onset of dizziness is a rare peripheral vestibular disorder that is commonly ignored or misdiagnosed. This review covers the development of the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment approaches of vertigo of childhood, a valid support for physician that approach dizzy children (Ref. 25).

Clinical Profile, Trends, and Management in Pediatric Patients with Audiovestibular Disorders: Can We Predict Emotional Disability in Pediatric Patients with Episodes of Vertigo and Dizziness?
Audiol Res
August 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Clínica Universidad de Navarra, 31008 Pamplona, Spain.
Background: Audiovestibular disorders in childhood occur with considerable frequency. However, the difficulty of obtaining medical history, the nonspecificity of symptoms, and the lack of cooperation during complementary tests often contribute significantly to diagnostic biases, attributing clinical presentations to psychosomatic disorders. The objectives of this work are, firstly, to characterize, from an auditory and vestibular perspective, the most frequent causes of vertigo in childhood and a possible relationship with emotional symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Vertiginous epilepsy (VE) is a rare form of epilepsy in children characterized mainly by vertigo-like symptoms, originating from the vestibular cortex, with brief seizures.
- The incidence of VE in pediatric patients who experience dizziness ranges from 6% to 15%, but diagnosis often takes years due to the lack of widely accepted diagnostic criteria.
- A thorough diagnostic approach involves a detailed history, physical examination, EEG, and MRI, and while many cases are of unknown origin or thought to be genetic, most patients respond well to anti-seizure medications.
