  • Title: Development of the vestibular system and balance function: differential diagnosis in the pediatric population.
    Author: O'Reilly R, Grindle C, Zwicky EF, Morlet T.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2011 Apr; 44(2):251-71, vii. PubMed ID: 21474003.
    Abstract:
    Dizziness is a rare complaint among children. In this article, the authors present the embryology and development of the vestibular system, and offer a rational approach to taking a careful history and ordering and interpreting appropriate vestibular and balance testing in children. A differential diagnosis is presented, so that the likely cause of the balance disorder can be elucidated even in the most complex pediatric patients.
