  • Title: [Vertigo in children].
    Author: Morgon A.
    Journal: Ann Pediatr (Paris); 1992 Oct; 39(8):519-22. PubMed ID: 1456682.
    Abstract:
    The main difference between childhood and adulthood vertigo is that the evaluation of symptoms and examination pose special challenges in pediatric patients, depending on age. Vertigo in pre-teenage children is similar to vertigo in adults. In contrast, although benign paroxysmal vertigo, vestibular neuronitis, and Ménière's vertigo occur in children, the distribution of these conditions is different from that seen in adults. After vestibular and cochlear investigations as well as a CT scan or MRI study to outrule a tumor of the posterior cerebral fossa, the diagnosis of vestibular vertigo is established. Often, the diagnosis proposed cannot be considered as final and requires reappraisal according to the long-term course. Collation of case-reports with highly accurate documents is essential in order to strive to develop more satisfactory approaches.
