    Abstract:
    Vertigo is uncommon in childhood. Its etiology is different from that of adults. Both central and peripheral disorders may give rise to vertigo symptoms in pediatric patients. The evaluation of vertigo in children requires a detailed history taking, clinical examination, audiometric assessment, and vestibular function tests. We present three pediatric patients with vertigo symptoms, together with treatment methods and results of treatment. Their ages ranged from 10 to 14 years. The diagnoses were vestibular neuritis in one patient, and benign paroxismal positional vertigo in two patients. Treatment was comprised of vestibular rehabilitation for vestibular neuritis, and canalith repositioning maneuver for benign paroxismal positional vertigo. All the patients benefited well from the procedures applied.
