“…Different studies support the value of thorough medical history in the assessment of paediatric patients [5]. In addition to the classic consultation, home videos recorded by parents can guide the clinician in the diagnostic process since children frequently are unable to explain their experiences [11].…”

Vertigo and Dizziness in Children: An Update

et al. 2021

Background: Vertigo and dizziness are relatively infrequent in paediatric patients, but specific data on the prevalence of these disorders are limited and influenced by various factors, including the age of the examined population. These conditions often have a significant impact on patients’ and parents’ quality of life. The aim of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of different aetiologies of vertigo in the paediatric population through a systematic review. Methods: According to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of the literature was performed. Medline and Embase were searched from January 2011 through to 10 September 2021. The search yielded 1094 manuscripts, which were reduced to 7 upon the application of inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 2470 paediatric patients were evaluated by the selected papers. Vestibular Migraine was the most frequently diagnosed condition, occurring alone or in association with other diseases. Overall, audio-vestibular disorders represented the second cause of vertigo, and the prevalence appears to increase according to age growth. Over the years, even though we assisted in the amelioration of diagnostic rates, partially related to an improvement in diagnostic tools, the aetiology of vertigo remains still unclear in a variable percentage of patients. Conclusion: Vertigo in children, despite being an uncommon symptom, requires a multidisciplinary approach, often involving Paediatricians, Neurologists and Otorhinolaryngologists. A comprehensive evaluation of children suffering from vertigo is crucial for establishing a successful therapy and reducing parental worries.

“…Videooculography and audiometry are used for securing the diagnosis. Vestibular disorders are diagnosed in 159 out of a total of 203 children at a mean age of 11,16±3,87 years (range, 1-17 years) (in 78,33% of the cases) among 3400 patients undergoing vestibular assessment at a vertigo center in a tertiary hospital during a three-year period (11). Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common diagnosis (in 100 children or in 49,26%) followed by vestibular migraine (in 83 children or in 40,89%), benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, vestibular neuritis and psychogenic vertigo (in nine children or in 4,43% of the cases each).…”

There is a rising interest in the diagnosis of the common vestibular disorders in childhood and adulthood. The results from numerous epidemiological investigations prove the socio-medical importance of this pathology. In the present survey, the applications of the main diagnostic methods in this interdisciplinary field are discussed.Here belong the caloric test, the video head impulse test, the cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, the videonistagmography, the electrococheography, the magnetic resonance imaging, the computed tomography, etc. A special attention is paid to the comparative diagnosis of some socially significant common vestibular disorders.
